Investigating the energy stored in crisps.

We carried out an experiment to measure the energy stored in a crisp.

Christie & Vikki

Nathan & Alex

We put 20cm3 of water in a boiling tube and recorded the temperature of the water.

Kieran & Andrew

Judith & Laura

We lit the crisp in a bunsen burner and held it below the tube.
We recorded the highest temperature of the water in the boiling tube.
