Science Experiment

This term in science we have done some experiments. Our latest experiment was the wet paper towels and dry paper towels. We had to guess if the wet paper towels would soak up the dye quicker or if the dry paper towels would soak up the dye quicker. We waited until the end of lunch time to see our results. It turns out that the dry paper towels absorbed the dye quicker. The explanation for this is that the wet paper towels were full of water so it was harder for the dye to spread  because the water is stopping it. But the dry paper towels weren't full of water so the could spread without anything getting in it's way. This is a photo of the experiment.
