10. Paper Towel Lab Make-up

​There were 4 different paper towels used.  I took 4 beakers and filled each beaker to 50 mL.  I cut all 4 paper towels to the same size.  I placed each paper towel into a separated beaker.  I took the paper towel out of each beaker.  I then observed and recorded how much water was left in the beaker.  I subtracted the amount of water left from the original amount to see how much water was absorbed into the paper towel.
