My little brother’s science teacher gave him a mini project. The guiding question is “What brand of paper towels is best?” Basic
ally, there are barely any rules whatsoever. You can do anything you want to justify your claim. So far, he thinks that he could measure absorbency or something. However, this isn’t set in stone What experiments can he conduct? What should his research question that is answered by the experiments be? What can he measure? For some context, the person who does the best work out of the grade gets a free A+ on an upcoming test. In conclusion, what can he do to conduct a successful experiment, sound smart, and possibly get that free A+?
Absorbancy is a good way to measure the products .To answer your first question Id first go out and buy two different brand of paper towels ( id do the walmart brand and the competing brand for a simpler outcome) . Then put two puddles of water on a flat surface. After that id lay one paper towel of each product on each puddle measuring which puddle absorbs faster into the paper towel thus, measuring its absorbency . for his research question he should ask
