Finalized version of the method to be included in the EEI write up:

There are two separate methods as there are two separate hypotheses.

Method 1

11.      Using a pipette measure  1/3  of 100ml methanol and pipette into a 100ml graduated cylinder.
22.      Using a pipette measure  2/3  of 100 ml distilled water and pipette into the same 100ml graduated cylinder.
33.      Stir using a stirring rod and wait for all air bubbles to settle.
44.      Record the volume displayed on the 100ml graduated cylinder.
55.      Repeat steps 1 to 4 another two times.
66.      Repeat steps 1 to 5 using ethanol.
77.      Repeat steps 1 to 5 using butanol.
88.      Using a pipette measure  1/4  of 100ml ethanol and pipette into a 100ml graduated cylinder.
99.      Using a pipette measure  3/4  of 100 ml distilled water and pipette into the same 100ml graduated cylinder.
110.   Stir using a stirring rod and wait for all air bubbles to settle.
111.   Record the volume displayed on the 100ml graduated cylinder.
112.   Repeat steps 8 to 11 another two times.
113.   Repeat steps 8 to 12 using ethanol.
114.   Repeat steps 8 to 12 using butanol.
115.   Using a pipette measure  1/5  of 100ml methanol and pipette into a 100ml graduated cylinder.
116.   Using a pipette measure  4/5  of 100 ml distilled water and pipette into the same 100ml graduated cylinder.
117.   Stir using a stirring rod and wait for all air bubbles to settle.
118.   Record the volume displayed on the 100ml graduated cylinder.
119.   Repeat steps 15 to 18 another two times
220.   Repeat steps 15 to 19 using ethanol.
221.   Repeat steps 15 to 19 using butanol.

Method 2

11.      Mix up the optimum ratio of methanol, ethanol and butanol.
22.      Record the contraction of each alkanol and water mixture.
33.      Place each mixture in water bath set to 40°C and leave for 24 hours.
44.      Record results.
55.      Repeat steps 1 to 4 two more times.
66.      Repeat steps 1 to 2.
77.      Place each mixture in a fridge set to 2°C and leave for 24 hours
88.      Record results.

99.      Repeat steps 6 to 9 two more times.
