The cookies and Milk Experiment By Madison Christensen
Big Question Which cookie will hold the most milk?
Hypothesis • I think that the hard Chips Ahoy cookies will hold the most milk because the hard Chips Ahoy cookies have no moisture and unfilled air bubbles.
Interesting facts from research • Cookies are full of pores. These pores are empty spaceswhich allow the milk to enter into them. • The chunky Chips Ahoy cookie has been a very popular cookie to dip in milk.
Materials • Hard Chips Ahoy cookies • Soft Chips Ahoy cookies • Oreo cookies • Cookies all covered in hardened fudge • Gram scale • Glass of milk • Piece of paper • Pencil
Step by step instructions • Use a weighing scale ( in grams) to measure each cookie. Write down the grams each one weighs. • Get a glass of milk out and then dunk a cookie in it for 10 seconds. • Use the scale to weigh it then record how many grams it weighs. • Repeat step 2 - 3 for each cookie. Also write down how much they weigh after being dunked in milk. • Subtract their weight when they weren`t dunked to the weight when they were dunked. • Find which cookie changed the most in weight by finding the biggest sum of answers.
Observations • When I dunked the cookie that was all covered in hardened fudge, it actually absorbed some milk when I thought it wouldn`t. • The hard Chips Ahoy cookies and the soft Chips Ahoy cookies weighed 230 grams before being dunked
Analysis of data • The cookie that gained the most milk was the hard Chips Ahoy cookie with 120 grams gained
Conclusion • My conclusion is that the Hard Chips Ahoy cookies hold the most milk and if you love cookies to absorb a lot of milk the best cookie to use is Hard Chips Ahoy cookies.
