Introduction
• When we eat food our bodies burn the food to use the energy that is released when they are broken down.
• Does each piece of food contain the same amount of energy?
• WRITE YOUR OWN INTRODUCTION
• INCLUDE THE DEFINITION OF A CALORIE

Purpose:
• To determine the amount of energy contained in specific foods.
• To determine if each piece of food contains the same amount of energy.
• To determine the accuracy of a calorimeter in measuring kcals.

Procedure
1. gather 3 pieces of each item2. weigh each one individually write it down3. make your observations-before4. put the item on the needle and cork or use forceps with
the cheese cracker5. measure out 10ml of water and pour it into your test tube6. take the temperature of the water7. hold the test tube over the food 8. light the food and make observations 9. take the temperature when the food is done
burning.
