 * THE STUDY OF THE AMOUNT OF OIL AND GREASE IN CHIPS **

The purpose of this experiment was to find out how much oil is in the chips after being tested with various experiments. Potato chips start as potatoes and as they get chopped, fried, and salted, the chips get very unhealthy, and can harm a body if eating too much chips, because there is one thing that comes from chips: grease. Potato chips were burned over a fire, and when all the oil has burned out, and the fire has stopped, the potato chips were crushed onto a paper towel. In result, the potato chips have lost a ton of weight in grams, as a lot of oil dropped from the chip. This happened because oil is really flammable and when the chip was set on fire, the oil was burned off of the chip, and after, the chip felt almost weightless.
 * ABSTRACT **

Some things that is experiment could improve on to reach more precise results is being more precise with the rolling pin when rolling the oil out of chips and making sure the time starts right when the chips start burning, this could lead to more accurate results to discuss. If the rolling pin was rolled onto the paper towel with this same force each time, then more and different conclusions will result
