11. Which type of paper can hold the most quarters?
By: Millie

12. Dependent Variable
How many quarters an unfolded napkin, a tissue, and toilet paper can hold.

13. Independent Variable
The type of paper I am using.

14. Constant Conditions The person holding the paper
The way you hold the paper
The day you do it
Holding the toilet paper with the lines going up and down through out the whole experiment.

15. Hypothesis
If I test to see if an unfolded napkin, tissue, or toilet paper will hold the most quarters then tissue will hold the most.

16. Procedure
Gather your materials such as, napkins, a lot of quarters, tissue, and toilet paper.
Have the person holding the paper get ready by holding it in their hand.
Begin placing quarters on the napkin. If you run out of quarters use something that equals a certain amount of quarters.
When the paper breaks record how many quarters were place on the paper. Repeat this procedure 2 more times. Do it with the other 2 papers also.

19. Conclusion
For my experiment I tested to see which type of paper could hold the most quarters. My hypothesis was that the tissue will hold the most. My hypothesis was correct because the tissue held an average of 43 quarters while the toilet paper held an average of 42 and the unfolded napkin had an average of 26. During my experiment I noticed that when holding the toilet paper the lines go in a certain direction. When doing this experiment hold the toilet paper so that the lines are going up and down. If I were to further this experiment I would test to see how many quarters different brands of tissue can hold.
