Water Colors

This term we are learning science. In our last science session we tried to guess if wet paper towels absorb water faster or if dry paper towels absorb water faster. We left the paper towels with the tips of the towels in the colored water. After lunch we came back in to class and saw that the dry paper towels absorb the water faster. This is because the wet towels already had water socked in them so it was harder for them to absorb more water, but the dry towels could absorb water faster because they are already dry so they can absorb the water faster.   This is a photo of our experiment.
