Aim
To find out the effect of the thickness of a biscuit on the ability of the biscuit to support a finite amount of weights
Apparatus
o Weights
o Biscuits
o Thread
Background Information
"Biscuits are designed to be strong so that they do not crumble easily."
(http://www.nzmaths.co.nz/Number/CrossStrand/biscuits.htm) A biscuit consists of flour, oil and other ingredients, which are packed together into a brittle solid. Therefore, biscuits can stand up to a finite amount of weight before it breaks.
Hypothesis
The thicker a biscuit, the more weights it can support.
Variables
Independent
o Increment of Thickness
o Method of applying weights
o Type of Biscuit
o How the Biscuit/Biscuits are placed
Method of Control (Independent Variables)
o Increment of Thickness Regular increment of 1 biscuit thickness
o Method of applying the weights Placing the weights gently onto the biscuits, increasing......
