Experimental Design Report
Directions:
To complete this assignment, you will ask a scientific question, write a hypothesis, and design an experiment to test your hypothesis.
Think about an observation you have made recently. What kind of question or problem was revealed by your observation? Write a hypothesis to address your question or problem. Then use the scientific method to design an experiment to answer this question or solve this problem.
Record all the steps in your experiment. You do not actually have to do the experiment. However, if you don’t perform the experiment, you must at least record the data that you might expect to gather if you had performed it. Use your common sense and imagination to predict what might happen in the experiment. In order to receive full credit for your assignment, you must fill in all of the information below.
1. Describe your observation. A chef making a good gesture to one of his batch of cookies and a bad gesture to another batch of his cookies. (Chocolate Chip Cookies)
2. Record your question. What made one batch of cookies taste good and the other batch taste bad?
3. Write your hypothesis. I predict that the cookie batch baked for a longer time will taste better then the cookies baked in less time.
4. What background information do you need to know, or what research do you need to do? The type of information I would need to know would be the ideal time chocolate chip cookies should be left in the oven for, and how long the oven should be pre heated for.
5. Where could you find this information? I could find this information on the back of cookie dough packets or in the back of mostly any flour packet.
6. Describe your experiment. In my experiment I am going to be testing the taste of chocolate chip cookies, how they taste cooked at different times and which time is the ideal to have good tasting cookies. With a cookie dough packet I will split it in 2 and put them into separated cookie pan sheets and bake them
