Assignment # 8

Abstract in log.
An abstract is a review of your project in three paragraphs. It should tell the reader what your purpose was, how you went about testing your hypothesis, and what your results were. It should be brief so that viewers and judges can tell at a quick glance what you did for a project.

Here is a sample abstract:
Many laundry detergents claim to be the best products on the market. The purpose of this experiment was to compare “Tide”, “All”, “Cheer”, and “Bold” powdered laundry detergents and determine which cleaned mud from cotton most effectively. It was anticipated that “All” would do the best job.
A length of cotton fabric was stained with mud and divided into four pieces. (A small piece of cotton was first set aside to act as a control.) Each of the four was separately washed in warm water on the “normal” cycle with one of the different detergents. The fabric was hung up to dry and comparisons were then made.
From the results, it can be concluded that “Tide” (not “All” as stated in the hypothesis) cleaned the cotton best of all the laundry detergents tested.
