Diaper Experiment

Diaper Experiment- Supplies needed:
For this experiment you will need to buy four different brand of diapers in the same size.I bought Luvs, Huggies, Pampers,and Parent choice(Walmart brand). You will also need water, a measuring cup,and food coloring I chose purple but what ever color you want.




Step 1: Add food coloring to water this allows the absorbency to be seen better.
to keep from having to do this step over and over if you want pour water into a empty gallon jug and add the food coloring to it.

Step 2: Pick one of the diapers and pour 1/2 cup of water into it wait until the water is absorb and then add more continue to add water until the diaper is no longer able to absorb. this is when you can take the diaper and hold it up and water pours out. if water is still being absorb then no water will come pour out look at these pictures for examples.

Pour 1/2 cup of water-



Allow to absorb-




When diaper is full water will pour out-



Step 3:
Do steps one and two with all four diapers write down on paper to keep track of how much water each diaper holds.
