Finding Energy in Food

LED Text Scroller
Hi guys! This week in Science we have been burning food. You may be wondering, why would be burning food? The answer is this: We are finding the energy in food. It was a pretty fun prac. I, BF, was in a group with RA, SN, and RB. We all took turns at burning the food. Here are the results:

Food	How easily did the food catch fire?	How big/intense a flame did it burn with?	How long did it burn for?
Tiny Teddies	5 seconds	Approx. 1cm	Approx. 1:02 min
Chips	4 seconds	Approx. 15 cm	Approx. 1:32 min
Pasta	6 seconds	Approx. 1 cm.	Approx. 32.3 sec.

I thought the chips had the most fat because:

• It caught alight quickly
• The flame was huge
• It was alight for more than 1 minute
• And fat was dripping off in droves.

It was a fun science class, but not for the food...
