WJEC3: The Energy Content of Foods
Abstract:
Burning different foods to raise the temperature of a known volume of water, and thus estimate the energy content of the food.
Hints & Tips:
- Check for allergies before deciding on which foods to use.
- Use a well-ventilated lab - fumes from burning foods can be irritating.
