LESSON 4 Which Picks Up More?

Professor Peabody Searches for the Better “Picker Upper”

While working in his lab, Professor Peabody knocked over a graduated cylinder filled with water. He grabbed a roll of paper towels and used several sheets to clean up the spill. Professor Peabody thought, “These paper towels don't soak up very much water. The brand I use at home works better.”
Professor Peabody decided to investigate different brands of paper towels to find the one that picks up the most water. He wants to find the better “picker upper.”
