Hello:

You are very close to a good problem question - just try taking what you wrote in your post and re-ordering it.

How will the independent variable affect the dependent variable.

Do

different types of paper towels

have different

strengths?

is close. Please come up with your own now and let us know what you come up with!

Perhaps your teacher meant that you should become something of an expert on your topic, so my suggestion is that you do some research on paper towel strength. Understand how exactly you are going to test the strength of the different brands. For instance, one method involves water droplets. Count how many droplets can held at the center of a single paper towel before it drips. That would make your experiment more quantitative, and you would able to neatly tabulate your results.
