1+which+paper+towel+is+the+strongest+?

There are many brands of paper towel, each claiming to be the best, the most absorbent, strongest or the cheapest. How can we prove or disprove these claims? How do we work out which paper towels really do the job required and the paper towels which are almost useless? We have all seen adverts where somebody compares two brands by soaking up some spilt juice dropped by the children, or wiping up some muddy footprints from their kitchen floor. This is not scientific – there are no figures, no proof and little truth. We conducted an experiment to test one of these claims, the strength of paper towels. “More expensive brands of paper towel are stronger.” = = Folded paper towel into quarter and laid flat in tray pouring 1/4 cup of water onto paper towel || 1.wait 20 second then carefully squeeze out, reshaped paper towel ( we did not think on the first go to squeeze out, then open out then refold, before resuming our experiment, we will do this next time) || 2.Pour water(60ml) into tray with paper towel in ,wait 20 second then squeeze out, unfold then applied some force (stretching) refold and placed into tray again || 3.Pour water(60ml) into tray with paper towel in ,wait 20 second then squeeze out, unfold then applied some force (stretching) refold and placed into tray again || 4.Pour water(60ml) into tray with paper towel in ,wait 20 second then squeeze out, unfold then applied some force (stretching)refold and placed into tray again || 5.Pour water(60ml) into tray with paper towel in ,wait 20 second then squeeze out, unfold then applied some force (stretching)refold and placed into tray again || ||  ||   || ||   ||   || || 5 applied some force to stretch= tore ||
 * SOME FACTS ABOUT KITCHEN TOWEL **
 * Paper towels were invented by Arthur Scott in Philadelphia, USA, in around 1900 and from humble beginnings have become a billion dollar industry.
 * Paper towels are often made from recycled paper, requiring fewer trees being cut down and using up to 50% less energy.
 * PERFORMING THE PAPER TOWEL EXPERIMENT **
 * HYPOTHESIS **
 * WHAT YOU WILL NEED FOR THE PAPER TOWEL EXPERIMENT **
 * Three brands of absorbent paper towel
 * A stopwatch
 * 3,¼ cup (60ml) of water
 * 3 dishes
 * METHOD **
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Fill the three cups up with exactly ¼ ( <span style="font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif; font-size: 10pt;">60ml ) <span style="font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> of a cup of water
 * 2) <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Take a sheet of each of brands of towel.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Fold all the paper towels once in half and then into quarters <span style="font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif;">, <span style="font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> making sure that each sheet is folded in exactly the same way for the experiment to be constant and correct
 * 4) <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Lay flat in a bowl
 * 5) <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Pour the ¼ (60ml) of water over the paper towel
 * 6) <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif; font-size: 12pt;">After 20 seconds, remove the towel from the bowls and squeeze as much water as you can out of the towel in to the individual cups(note we are Not looking at absorbency)
 * 7) <span style="font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Repeat the process and note the results in a data table <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">.

<span style="font-family: 'Century Schoolbook',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> This is a simple experiment and does have restrictions; as we are testing only one reason why people choose a certain brand.Some brands might be excellent at soaking up spills, are strong but more expensive. When consumers buy paper towels, they are not just looking for absorbency and strength, price, softness and the number of sheets on a roll are all important factors when buying a roll of kitchen paper towel.
