  2. ? Big Question • The Big Question is what brand of soap works best to remove oil from an animal’s fur.

  3. Explanation • I chose to do this after I saw a Dawn commercial and thought if that was the only brand that people used to clean animals.

  4. Hypothesis • Since that Dawn claims in there commercials that they clean animals in oil spills and I haven’t seen other brands claim that they also clean animals. So I predict that Dawn cleans better.

  6. Materials You will Need • Water • Motor oil • Fake or real fur • 3 types of soap • Sink/bucket • Timer • Tablespoon

  7. Step by Step • Fill the sink/bucket with water put a tablespoon of soap • Put a tablespoon of oil on the fur • Set the timer for three minutes • Put the fur in the sink and start the timer • Repeat with the rest of the soap • Then use it with just water • Let dry and make a conclusion
