Analysis of Data and Results
Qualitative Data:
Before the experiment all of the materials were dry, and light. After the experiment the materials were heavy with oil and were also wet. They also changed in colour and texture.
Quantitative Data:
Before we tested the experiment there was 2 cups of oil in each bin. After the experiment, in the hay bin there was 1 1/2 cups of oil left. In the cotton balls bin, there was 1 1/3 cups of oil left. The control test stayed the same, with 2 cups of oil left over. In the sponge bucket there was 1 1/4 cups of oil left.
