• Problem: Which hold more liquids? A
Diaper or a Pull-Up?
HYPOTHESIS
Using three Luvs diapers and
three non brand name pull ups.
We will add three different types
of liquids to each one; which
would hold more liquid?
The class guessed that the Luvs
diapers will hold the most liquid.

Variables
• Independent Variable- Three types of
diaper and three types of pull-ups (e.g.
Luvs diapers and non brand name pullups.)
• Dependent Variable-Three types of
liquid: milk, grape kool aid, and class
made waste material (milk, Cracker
Barrel syrup, and Jif peanut butter)
Materials
•
•
•
•
•
Three Luvs diapers
Three non brand pull-ups
¼ cup of Milk
¼ cup of Kool Aid
¼ cup mixture of syrup, milk, Jif peanut
butter, Cracker Barrel syrup
Procedure
• We pour ¼ cup of each liquid variable per cup
• We mixed the Cracker Barrel syrup, milk, and peanut
butter for our class made waste
• We placed items on the table: three Luvs diapers three
non brand pull-ups and labeled each of them accordingly
• Students poured each liquid variable onto the
diapers/and into the non brand pull-ups
• We check our classroom selection chart to see which
held more liquid
Results
• The Luvs diapers held the most liquid.
This proves that our hypothesis was
correct.
Conclusion
• We selected the Luvs diaper as the best choice
for holding liquid, as it held more liquid.
• We believe the class made waste was not as
absorbent as the other liquids. Therefore, we
did not see a significant change in either the
diaper or the pull-up, concerning the absorbency
of a thicker substance.
