Cobalt+Group

= ** Cobalt Lab Report ** = Brett,Alex, Jack, Peyton  1. Problem- Which brand taste better, Oreo’s or Kroger brand Kid-O’s?Which brand is more reliable then the other? Which brand will stay fresh longer? Which ones won't break as easily? Which ones are more compact then the other? Which ones are cheaper then the other brand? 2. Observation/Research- Kid-O’s have more filling. Oreo’s are crunchier. Kid-O’s are cheaper.    3. Hypothesis- Jack,Brett,Alex, and Peyton think that Oreo’s are better.

4. Test Hypothesis- Materials- Kid-O's, Oreo's, a scale, a blindfold, a knife, and a ruler   Independent Variable- Oreos  Dependent Variable- Taste Preference, Quality, Filling, Crunch,andNutrition. Control- Kid-O's  Step 1.We are going to test how cruchy oreo's are compared to Kid-O's.  1. We will put half of a pound of wieght on it and keep adding until it cracks.The first one to crack will be the crunchiest.  Step 2. We are going to test how much they each weigh  1. put on gloves  2. We will take a food scale and weigh each cookie separately. <span style="cursor: auto; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 17px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-top: 1px;">Step 3. We are going to test which one costs more. <span style="cursor: auto; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 17px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-top: 1px;">1. We will take the two prices and see which one is more expensive. <span style="cursor: auto; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 17px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-top: 1px;">Step 4. We are going to test which one has more calories. <span style="cursor: auto; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 17px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-top: 1px;"> 1. We will look on the box and see wich one has more calories <span style="cursor: auto; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 17px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-top: 1px;">Step 5. We are going to test which one costs more per cookie. <span style="cursor: auto; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 17px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-top: 1px;"> 1. We will count the number of cookies and divide it by the cost of the whole thing. <span style="cursor: auto; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 17px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-top: 1px;">Step 6. We are going to do a blind test to see which one is better. <span style="cursor: auto; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 17px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-top: 1px;">1. put on safety gloves <span style="cursor: auto; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 17px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-top: 1px;">2. The whole group will do a blind taste test. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"> 5. Collect and study data 6. Conclusion - In the taste test every person in our group said that oreo's were better. In the "crispiness" test Kid-O's won. In the cream test the Kid-O's had more cream. Oreos won the weight test. In the nutrition test we found that they both had the same amount of calories and sugar, but the Oreo's had more fat. In the price test Oreo's cost more, and they also cost more per cookie. None of our hypothpses were right. The oreo's tasted better, but the Kid-O's won in every other catgory.
