What makes your experiment a FAIR TEST?
My mother says I'm a very fair person.
All the VARIABLES were the same. The pieces of materials were the same size and the amount of water I used was the same.
I decided how big each piece of paper should be, I made some bigger as I liked the colour.

Cut all the materials used the SAME size.
Used the same amount of water for each test.
ALL OF THE ABOVE.

time, size of material, different kind of liquids
time, size of material, same amount of water used.
