The paper towel is hydrophilic and absorbs the water. Liquids also likes to  take shape of any unfilled space & the part of the towel that is dry is has molecules that are more expanded. Water is a liquid so it's molecules strive to fill the empty pockets of the paper towel and soaks it, eventually over flowing to the edge exposed to the air which is in the other beaker.

2. Why did it absorb faster in some areas of the paper towel but not in others?(question by Mikayla btw)]]> 2020-09-11 16:41:26 UTC https://padlet.com/alichwa/rpa8wepu3ks2l1od/wish/739482690 https://padlet.com/alichwa/rpa8wepu3ks2l1od/wish/739501211 We believe that the waters movement might have something to do with surface tension, as we have no idea what other forces might be acting on it. The paper towels are hydrophillic so they attract the water and pull the water to the next beaker. We would like to know what forces acted on the water?]]> 2020-09-11 16:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/alichwa/rpa8wepu3ks2l1od/wish/739501211 https://padlet.com/alichwa/rpa8wepu3ks2l1od/wish/739504458 Hydrogen bonding made the water stick together as it went up the paper towel. The water continued to move up the towel because the paper towel is absorbent. Why is some solids more absorbent than others?]]> 2020-09-11 16:45:49 UTC https://padlet.com/alichwa/rpa8wepu3ks2l1od/wish/739504458 https://padlet.com/alichwa/rpa8wepu3ks2l1od/wish/739511557 The paper towels absorbs the water molecules and transfers it to the other beaker.]]> 2020-09-11 16:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/alichwa/rpa8wepu3ks2l1od/wish/739511557 https://padlet.com/alichwa/rpa8wepu3ks2l1od/wish/739511569 The paper towel has cohesion factors, making the water cling and transfer to the other end of the paper towel. Because water is highly electronegative, it allows it to move through the towel easily with the help of hydrogen bonding. Finally, once the water is on the last third of the towel gravity help take it down. ]]> 2020-09-11 16:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/alichwa/rpa8wepu3ks2l1od/wish/739511569 https://padlet.com/alichwa/rpa8wepu3ks2l1od/wish/739512672 The water absorbs and creeps up the paper towel via capillary action. The water molecules are cohesive meaning they stick to themselves and can climb up the paper towel.

Does the water transfer faster if it's tighter or loose?

The paper towel is able to absorb the water from the first beaker because it is hydrophilic. The water molecules connect and disconnect with one another through hydrogen bonds which allows the water to travel farther down the paper towel and into the second beaker. This process continues until there is an equilibrium between the two beakers. Through adhesion the water can stick to the paper towel.

2. If the paper towel is twisted tighter, will the water move faster?]]> 2020-09-11 16:48:25 UTC https://padlet.com/alichwa/rpa8wepu3ks2l1od/wish/739517119 https://padlet.com/alichwa/rpa8wepu3ks2l1od/wish/739519975 Nathan

The paper towel absorbs the water because of adhesion since the water attracts to it. Both cohesive and adhesion is used.
2) What property of water allowed it to transfer?
