I noticed that some paper towel brands had similar claims so paper towels will be used in equal measurements to absorb water placed on a flat surface. The goal is to discover which brand will leave the cleanest surface.
1. Most paper towels are made from paper pulp which is extracted from wood or fiber crops and also virgin as well as recycled paper pulp.
2. Paper towels were first made from Arthur Scott out of a cart lode full of rejected toilet paper turned in to small towel size sheets the first ever disposable towels.
3. To make paper towels seem whiter in most brands they add bleach in the process of making them also paper towels can only be used once.
4. Paper towels are one of the most versatile paper products …show more content…
Procedure
1. Get 1 roll of Bounty, Sparkle, Scott, and Viva paper towel.
2. Put them on a flat hard surface.
3. Get a measuring cup and pour in some water.
4. Pour out 1/8 a cup of water on flat surface.
5. Take any roll of paper towel, and rip it at the cut line.
6. Do step five, four times on each brand.
7. Take a paper towel and wipe up the water.
8. Do step seven with all pieces of paper towel.
9. Take pictures and write down information from the experiment.
10. That's it!
Conclusion
I discovered that out of the four brands Bounty, Scott, Viva, and Sparkle, that bounty is the best. My hypothesis is right that bounty is the best. The data that I got proves that Bounty is the best brand of paper towel.
New Questions
Why would Scott do the worst out of all of the brands even though it is one of the more well known brands.
Failures
One of the failures that I had, is when I added too much water, so if I were to do this experiment again I would have used less water.
