In our experiment we are going to test the strength of multiple paper towel brands to determine which paper towel brand has the strongest absorbency. We are going to observe whether or not the thickness of the paper towel determines how much liquid is absorbed. This will help society at picking which paper towel brand is worth the money rather than wasting your money on a non absorbent paper towel. We will be sure to use the same amount of liquid on each paper towel allowing accurate results. We will also do the experiment on the same surface each time to ensure that our results are accurate.
If more people investigated these types of comparisons, the significant positive effects on the environment would become much clearer. I really liked how you chose to closely observe touch and surface patterns to create a meaningful comparison. Paying attention to details like surface texture and roughness is very important, since they can strongly affect water absorption and desorption. You have a great research eye!
