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 spaces which 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
1. Use a weighing scale ( in grams) to measure each cookie. Write down the grams each one weighs.
2. Get a glass of milk out and then dunk a cookie in it for 10 seconds.
3. Use the scale to weigh it then record how many grams it weighs.
4. Repeat step 2 - 3 for each cookie. Also write down how much they weigh after being dunked in milk.
5. Subtract their weight when they weren`t dunked to the weight when they were dunked.
6. 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
