The purpose of this experiment was to figure out which of the four foods could burn the longest and cause the most temperature change in water. To carry out this lab, all groups had to hold a piece of burning food under a can of water and record the change in temperature. Also, every piece of food had to be weighted before and after burning to see the change in mass. With the change in mass and the temperature change, you can then figure out what they total amount of calories for that piece of was. Table 1 above shows all of the data that my lab partner, Jamie, and I collected during our experiment. Table 2 is a combination of all of the data from the 12 groups. That data is then averaged for each food, with the highest and lowest numbers not
