- LT 1-6 Quiz
- Calorimetry instructions: Please open The Energy In food. Using these instructions burn one of the provided foods and determine it's energy in kJ/g. Work in groups of 3-4.
- Investigation Instructions - Please open this document, make a copy and put your information into the beginning of the title (P4 or 5 and last name first initial Energy in Foods).
- Use the article in the link in the LT above tho help with your knowledge probe?
- Your Task ~ Use the experience today and the energy calculation from the trials you ran to design a complete investigation guide to follow for the next 2-3 days. Make your own copy of the Investigation Instructions. You will need to consider using numerous trials (taking their average), and understand that a minimum of 4 foods with varying ingredients should be sampled (5 or more would be even better). Consider how combustable your foods should be, and their ingredients(fats, carbohydrates)
- Plan with your group ~ Use Friday to develop a detailed plan of investigation. Consider the number of foods, trials, and how combustable each food is. Produce data tables that will be ready to go and resemble those in the "Energy in Foods" link above so that once you begin data collection, you have a place to house it. Bring supplies and be ready to begin Friday/Monday!
Confused?
For help with understanding what calorimetry is and what you will be doing, watch the video to the right. |

Friday, TBD
Energy In Foods Investigation
For example: What are your independent and dependent variables?
What are you recording in terms of data? and in what units?
Where will you record your data? (see tables in the Energy in Food instructions)
What are going to have to calculate?
Who is responsible for bringing in foods?
4. Once all data is collected, calculations might take at least one class period.
- Complete your plan of investigation and have it approved by Mr. Smit. You should follow closely what is presented in the Energy in Food LabQuest instructions.
- Once approved, begin data collection. It is always recommended to do multiple trials. How much is enough? This may take 2 -3 class periods depending on the foods you compare and your efficiency at setting up and managing the equipment you are using.
- Be mindful of the science parameters you should be following and group responsabilities:
For example: What are your independent and dependent variables?
