Which Type Of Paper Would Best Work In This Experiment?
Magic Cup
“Which type of paper would best work in this experiment?”
The first thing Ms. Trainer did was fill the cup with water. Next, she took a piece of sketchbook paper, and put it on the rim of the cup. Then, Ms. Trainer flipped the cup in one second. Lastly, the water did leak through the paper, after a couple of seconds.
The hypothesis is that sketchbook paper can hold the water longer than origami paper. When the cup is flipped and the water is not leaking through the paper, it is due to the type of paper, which is sketchbook paper. The sketchbook paper is thicker than origami paper, and that is why sketchbook paper would work better.
The materials used are:
9 ounce cup
4 ounces of water sketchbook paper origami paper a timer a bucket
The procedures are:
Step 1- Fill a 9 ounce cup with 4 ounces …show more content…
The results did not support the hypothesis. Origami paper held the water longer, rather than sketchbook paper, because of the Washi tape. Washi tape is usually tougher than normal paper. In a future study, I will test two different types of paper, and use that to compare the results for sketchbook and origami paper.
The hypothesis was rejected, because origami paper held the water longer than sketchbook paper. Comparing the results, all 5 times origami paper held the paper longer than sketchbook paper. The hypothesis stated that sketchbook paper would hold the water longer. That is why the hypothesis is rejected.
In this experiment, there was one specific error, which was not holding the cup rim directly onto the middle of the paper. Instead, the paper was soaked by the water. This affected the results, because the tests weren’t done exactly the same, so therefore the results couldn’t be comparable. I can reduce this error, by making sure that the paper was directly onto the cup’s rim, without the water touching the paper
