Paper Towel Lab

We have been reading about inquiry skills and the scientific method in our books, and decided to put them into practice today.  Over the next few days, we will be testing the strength and absorbency of 3 brands of paper towels while practicing the steps of the scientific method.  Today we made observations and asked questions, made a hypothesis, designed an experiment, and started to conduct an experiment.  We are starting with the strength of the paper towels, which is tested by how many pennies it can hold while wet.  Stay tuned for our results!
