Oreo Cookie Lab

We measured the filling in three types of Oreo cookies to determine if filling amounts matched the advertisement.

 

Hypothesis: I think that the mass of all three will be different. All of the densities will be different too.

 

Method:

1.) Measure just the cookie part without insides

2.) Measure regular Oreo and subtract the mass of the cookie, then repeat with the double and triple.

3.) Calculate if the advertising is right

 

Results:

Regular- 8.33 for cookie

               3.27 for cream

 

Double: 14.5 for cookie

              6.17 for cream

 

Triple: 17.29 for cookie

            8.96 for cream

 

 

Conclusion: I thought this lab was interesting and from the results it matched the advertising. Overall this lab taught me a lot. 

In this lab, we had three bowling balls of which one sunk, one floated and the last one stayed in the middle. We measured the circumference of each and then we calculated the volume and radius. The results were about the same and were all pretty c lose. This lab was very interesting to me.
