Oreo Cookie Lab Abstract

Oreo Cookie Lab Abstract

Author: Ethyn, Pentucket H.S

Lab conducted on Sept. 12, 2013

Students measured the filling in three types of Oreo cookie to determine if filling amounts matched advertising.

Hypothesis: I believe that the advertising stating that the double-stuf and mega-stuf oreos have double and triple the amounts of filling than a regular oreo.

Method:

1. Measure each cookie with filling.
2. After measuring each cookie take the cookie part off of one.
3. Measure the mass of the cookie part.
4. Subtract the cookie part's mass x2 from the original measurement to find the mass of the filling.

Result: The chart below gives the results for this group.

                             | With cookie and filling|cookie part|       math         |result              

Original     |      12g             |4.4g   | 12-8.8    | 3.2g

                    |                 |       |                |     

Double-stuf|      15.6g    |4.4g | 15.6-8.8  |6.8g

                    |                 |       |                |     

Mega-stuf   |    18.3g     |4.4g  |  18.3-8.8 |9.5g

Conclusion- The Oreos do in fact live up to the advertisement's claim.
