Doubled Stuffed Oreos?
Introduction and Hypothesis:
When in your in a store, there are two different sized of Oreos to choose from, either the regular Oreos or the doubled stuffed Oreos. Is the doubled stuffed Oreos really double the stuffing, if so it may be a good deal to spend a little extra? We want to know if the Oreos are worth its deal. We know that the DSO (double stuffed Oreo) is taller than the regular Oreos. We will soon find out if the DSO is really doubled the stuffing. Since the DSO looks larger, it may be doubled than the regular Oreos.
-If double stuffed Oreos have double the filling, then the filling will have a larger mass.
Materials:
4 regular Oreos
4 DSO
I scale
1 paper plate
1 napkin
Procedure:
1. Weigh all the regular and DSO on the scale.
2. Record into the data.
3. Find the average of each type of Oreos.
4. Repeat step 2.
5. Scrape off all the filling with a fork.
6. Weigh two of the cookie wafers that have no filling.
7. Use the equation (1 cookie – 2 cookie wafers) for each Oreos to just get the filling.
8. Repeat step 2.
9. Divide the two filling of the Oreos. (DSO cream/Reg. cream)
Results (Data):
original
DS
1 cookie
11.46
15.29 cream 2.96
6.79
Error:
-Not cleaning the cream off the wafers.
-Human Error
-Rounding the weight of the Oreos.
Analysis:
Our hypothesis was confirmed. The purpose of this lab was to find out if Double Stuffed Oreos are actually double the filling. The results showed that the mass of the filling was a little more than double the regular Oreos. There were no trends because we’re only testing two things. Another experiment that could be an extension of this one is bounty paper towel vs. regular paper towel; which is more absorbent?
