Procedures

In this lab, you will "purchase" a mine, "rent" your mining equipment, and be supervised by an "official." You will keep track of your expenses and income to calculate your profit (or loss) at the end of the activity. Print out the Cookie Mining Lab Information Sheet listed in the Materials section. You should record all data for the lab on this sheet so that you will be able to incorporate the data into your lab report for submission.
Now, take a moment and predict your performance. Do you think you will make a profit? Record this information as your hypothesis.
First, you (the miner) must decide which land area (cookie) you are going to mine. The available "areas" and costs are listed below:
Store Brand: $4.00
Chips Ahoy!®: $5.00
Keebler® Chips Deluxe®: $6.00
After purchasing your land (cookie), the miner (that's you) must rent mining equipment. The mining must be conducted with mining tools. Do not use your hands! The mining equipment costs are
Flat toothpick: $2.00
toothpick: $5.00
Paper clip: $7.00
After purchasing your land (cookie) and equipment, the miner (you) places the cookie on a sheet of graph paper and traces the outline of the cookie.
The cost of mining and reclaiming your land (labor, etc.) is $2.00/minute. Both mining and reclamation must be timed! It is up to you how long you want to mine your cookie, but you must keep track of the time. You must pay for each minute you are working to extract your "minerals."
Begin mining your cookie. You may not use your hands or fingers. Work on the graph paper. Only mining tools may be used. You decide when to stop the mining process. Your goal is to remove the chocolate chips (the ore) from the cookie (the mine). Do not dispose of the excess cookie material (keep everything on the graph paper). A parent or guardian should act as an "official" and randomly check to make sure that you are not using your hands or fingers in the mining process.
After the cookie has been mined, you must reclaim the land. To do this you must return the cookie to as close to the original shape and topography as possible. It must be placed back in the original circle. This may be done only with the mining tools. No fingers/hands are allowed! Your "official" should continue to check that you are following the rules. The topography of the mined land should closely resemble the original topography of the cookie. Be sure to time the reclamation process.
Incomplete reclamation efforts are fined by the government. For each graph-paper square that is now different than the original cookie (that means a square that used to have cookie on it and is now empty, or a square that used to be empty and now has cookie on it), record a penalty of $1.00 per square.
After your reclamation effort has been completed, the ore will be "sold." The current price for ore is
Chocolate Chip: $2.00/chip
Note You may combine broken chips to count as whole chips.
