Re: Science Fair
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.
Need an idea or some inspiration?
