Absorbency

Last week, 3C continued to explore the characteristics of materials and we learnt all about absorbency (the ability to soak up liquid). As always, our week ended with a practical experiment. Miss Campbell decided to use this opportunity to find out which teacher buys the most absorbent kitchen towels. Miss Prest and Miss Bialek were very kind and each brought in a sample for us to test. Here are the results of what we found...

Miss Bialek uses 'Tesco Value' kitchen roll , we found this to be the least absorbent. Perhaps that is why is it the cheapest. 
Miss Prest uses 'Thirst Pockets', we found this to be the second most absorbent kitchen roll. 
Miss Campbell uses 'Plenty', our results showed that her kitchen roll was the most absorbent. It was, however, the most expensive one too!
