4. Today’s lesson Measuring the energy content of food

5. Energy requirements?

6. Vary with age, activity levels and pregnancy

7. Energy content of foods? Burn food Measure temperature rise of a known mass of water Calculate energy released by burning food (using the specific heat capacity of water)

8. Let’s do it! Measure 10cm 3 of water into a test tube Take temperature of water Weigh the food Set light to food and hold it under the test tube Record final (highest) temperature of water Record your measurements Calculate the energy released = 41.9 x temp rise

9. Energy in foods Type of snackMass of snack (g) Starting temp (°C) Finish temp (°C) Temp rise (°C) Energy produced (J) (41.9 x temp change) Energy per gram (J/g) (Energy divided by mass) Pork rinds Cheetos Raisins Pasta
