Does temperature affect how wide a chocolate chip cookie gets? If temperature affects how a chocolate chip cookie is baked, then temperature will affect how wide the cookie grows in width. The procedures for the experiment were; Warm up the oven to the desired temperatures. Prepare the chocolate chip cookie dough into about 3 sections of 28 grams, while the oven is heating up. Place the cookie dough onto the pan and put into the oven once the oven is heated up. Leave the cookies in the oven to cook for about 15 minutes. Take the cookies out when done and leave out to cool for 2 minutes. Remove cookies from the pan and place the batch on a flat surface. Take a ruler and measure the width of the cookie. Convert the inches to centimeters. Record …show more content…

Three trials called for three cookies to be baked. The experiment was tested out using three trials, enough information was collected to determine whether or not the hypothesis was accepted or rejected. In all the trials, three cookies were baked at different temperatures and measured using a ruler. In the first trial, the cookie baked at 320 degrees was measured to 9.2 cm (3.7 in), the cookie baked at 335 degrees was measured to 10.2 cm (4 in), the cookie baked at 350 degrees was measured to 8 cm (3.1 in). In the second trial, the cookie baked at 320 degrees was measured to 8 cm, the cookie baked at 335 degrees was measured to 10.2 cm, and the cookie baked at 350 degrees was measured to 10.2 cm. Finally, in the third and last trial, the cookie baked at 320 degrees was measured to 9.4 cm, the cookie baked at 335 degrees was measured to 8.9 cm, and the cookie baked at 350 was measured to 9.7 cm. Overall, the average for the first trial was 9.2 cm, the average for the second trial was 9.7 cm, and the average for the last trial was 9.3 cm. Some patterns that are seen in the data are that the widths of some of the cookies are the same. There really isn’t a difference between the numbers
