Question

Take two glasses, fill one with water and leave the other empty. Place them side by side. Fold a paper towel lengthwise and put one end into the water in the glass with water. Stick the other end of the paper towel in the empty glass. Wait 30 minutes and record your observations.

What will the hypothesis be?

Answer 1

The answer would  be that the entire paper towel becomes wet. The water will drip from the paper towel into the empty glass.

Answer 2

Your paper towel rope (or wick) starts getting wet, after a few minutes you will notice that the empty glass is starting to fill with water, it keeps filling until there is an even amount of water in each glass.
