DO NOW • WRITE YOUR NAME • TAKE OUT HOMEWORK • Write your group member names • Read the background • Read procedure 1
Paper Towel Lab Biology Ms. Taylor
Pour 100 ml of water from the graduated cylinder to the beaker
Put paper towel in the water. Lean it against the side of the beaker. Start stop watch immediately
Immediately take paper towel out after 1 min, lay on counter, and immediately measure the distance the water traveled in centimeters
We are observing the absorption of water • Trial #1 Results: The paper towel absorbed ______ cm of water. • Trial #2 Results: The paper towel absorbed ______ cm of water.
Ask Questions • “What would happen to the rate of water movement if …” • “Would the water move faster if…” • “Would the water movement change if…”
Make a Hypothesis for both Questions • If _______________________ (something that changed), then the rate of water absorption would increase/decrease/stay the same
Design your Experiment • Choose 1 question to answer. • Write the question you chose, and a hypothesis (the possible answer) to that question on page 4.
State Your Variables • Experimental Variable: What you chose from the table • Controlled Variables: Everything else must remain the same as the original experiment
