Winter Experiment Project #2

Blog Entry 2 (Complete by 12/14):  Give a report summarizing the data you collected from the experiment and the conclusions you can draw from the data collected.

Jacob Carson

This experiment tested for three separate, but similar, variable. Different types of toilet paper did better in some of the categories than their competitors. Overall the best toilet paper at soaking up water was Northern Quilted Soft; its average water soakage was the highest, at 4.10grams (Angel Soft- 3.00grams  Charmin- 3.95grams). The best toilet paper at absorbing milk was Angel Soft, this is because its average soakage was, 3.25grams (Northern Quilted Soft- 3.16grams  Charmin- 3.22grams ). When it came to absorbing large amounts of liquids Northern Quilted Soft was the victor, its average soakage of large amounts was 4.67grams (Angel Soft- 3.63grams  Charmin- 4.45grams ). In conclusion, the clear victor was North Quilted Soft toilet paper; this is because it won two out of the three variables. I was surprised to see that the Charmin didn't win any of the variables. Charmin advertises its product very well, and it is also expensive, this lead to a false conclusion that Charmin was the best kind of toilet paper out of the three; it showed that in order to learn what product is the best you need to conduct a balanced experiment.
