Mrs. Amanda McKee's kindergarten class of West Defuniak Elementary had a blast figuring out which of Santa's Christmas cookies would float the longest. In this science experiment students tested to see if sugar cookies, gingerbread cookies, or marshmallow cookies would float the longest. We discovered that marshmallow cookies float the longest because of their chocolate coating that keeps the cookie from absorbing the milk. Submitted by Jessica Dawkins.
