In this unit of my 9th grade Physical Science, we are learning and experiencing with labs. In this week's experiment, my class did the paper towel lab. Here, we tested the quality of three different paper towel brands, Viva, Up&Up, and Bounty. Each lab group was testing for a certain quality of each brand, such as strength and absorbency. Through different experiments, each lab group came to the conclusion that one paper towel brand had more strength or better absorbency than the other two. My lab group decided to test the strength of each paper towel brand by taking a sheet from each brand, soaking them in water, and then seeing how many pennies each sheet could hold without breaking or ripping. We started by getting one paper towel from each

After looking over our data, we concluded that the strongest brand of paper towels by sheet and also by roll was Target's Up&Up brand. Although Up&Up was the strongest brand, we then checked to see which brand was giving you the most strength per dollar you spent on their paper towel roll. Viva and Bounty both costed $1.56 per roll, while Up&Up costed only $1.27 per roll. After doing dimensional analysis we were able to conclude that Up&Up gave the most strength per roll with 37.13 lbs per dollar, while Viva gave 28.8 lbs per dollar, and Bounty only gave 26.6 lbs per roll. This drew us to the conclusion that Up&Up is the is the best towel to purchase because it is both the strongest, cheapest, and gives you the most strength per dollar. I would like to inform you that Wayzata High School should consider and buy Up & Up paper towels for three reasons. First, they are the strongest and most durable paper towel out of the three brands, which can be helpful when children are trying to clean up messes and don't want to waste paper towels due to
