1. 7. Food Energy Values Scientific Enquiry Question

2. Part of Roy’s experiment is to burn a piece of crispbread. (a). How has Roy arranged his apparatus so he works safely? _________________________ ____________________________________

3. (b). Look carefully at the experiment and THINK ! (i) What do you think he is trying to find out? ______________________________________ (ii) What is his key independent variable? ______________________________________ (iii) When should he record the temperature of the water? ______________________________________

4. (c)Roy wants to compare potato crisps and the crispbread. So, he does the experiment again using a piece of potato crisp. Suggest three things he must do to make the experiment a fair test. 1. ___________________________________ 2. ___________________________________ 3. ___________________________________

5. (d). The table shows some of the nutritional energy values for crispbread and potato crisps. Food (100g) EnergyCarbohydrateFat Crispbread Potato Crisps 1450 kJ 2070 kJ 60 g 7 g 28 g

6. (i). Roy burns 1.0 g of potato crisp instead of 1.0 g of crispbread in a similar experiment. What result will he get when he burns the potato crisp? Tick the correct box. The change in the temperature of the water will be the same. The change in the temperature of the water will be smaller. The change in the temperature of the water will be greater. There will be no change in the temperature of the water.

7. (ii). The carbohydrate values are identical. Starch is a type of carbohydrate. It probably makes up most of the 60 grams. What other type of carbohydrate makes up the rest of the amount? _____________________ (iii). Iodine solution can be used to test foods for starch. What colour is iodine solution? ____________ What colour does it turn if the food contains starch? _______________________________

8. (e). How many times more fat is there in potato crisps than crispbread ______________________________________ (f). Explain why eating too many potato crisps is not a good idea. ______________________________________
