**THE STUDY OF BURNING FOODS **
By Jason H 2011-2012

**ABSTRACT **
The purpose of this study was to determine the raise in temperature in C of water per g of different types of food. Calorimetry is the study of heat capacity, there are two types of food calories, large ones and small ones, 1 gram of fat has 9 calories and 1 gram of proteins or a carbohydrate give off less heat than fat and has 4 calories, and temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of something. The way this experiment was conducted was food was burned under a pot with water in it and the temperature of the water was recorded. Cheetos heated the water up the most per gram and peanuts heated it up the least. The main thing that changes the raise in temperature of the water per g was the way things were made.

** CONCLUSION **
Cheetos heated the water up the most per gram and peanuts heated it up the least. The reason my experiment is important to the world is that you could use a Cheeto design to make something very flammable. Yes, the hypothesis that was made was correct for every experiment. A follow up experiment would be to use different types of brands.
