Science - Testing the absorbancy of different materials

In Science this term, we have been exploring different materials and their properties. We conducted a fair experiment to test which material would be the most absorbent - microfibre cloth, felt or and tissue. We made predictions prior to the experiment and unanimously voted the tissue would be the least absorbent, with the class split over microfibre cloth or felt for being the most! For all groups, it was discovered that the felt was the material that absorbed the most water, making it the best material to soak up a spill!
