This week we got to burn food! It was so fun! My favorite part was lighting the food on fire. I think it was really cool watching it burn. Did you know that you could boil water just by burning Cheetos. We were burning them to find how many calories were in the food. We burned Cheetos, an almond, and a Tostito. We put water in a can and took the temp and wrote it down. Then we lit the food on fire and when the fire went out we looked at the temp and write it down. We also weighed it before and after. Then we did some math to figure out how many calories there were. We actually got pretty close to how many calories were in the foods.
