Students will use the data collector, temperature probe, and calorimeter to measure caloric values of small amounts of common foods. Each student group will measure the calories of one food sample from each of the food groups. Students may also elect to measure the calories of other substances i.e., Cetyl Alcohol, candy, etc.
Using the data collectors, many student groups from different class periods can compare data. This information will then be used by the students to make healthier food choices based on caloric values. Caloric values for various foods will also be checked against label and MSDA data to ensure accuracy.
