Energy Content of Food

As I read the"nutritional information" panel on my box of cereal this morning I wondered how you would measure the "energy content" of food.
At AUS-e-TUTE we've come up with a straight-forward experiment that you could do in the school laboratory (or at home if you really wanted too!). We even provided some sample results and calculations so that you can measure the energy content of your favourite foods.

If you are an AUS-e-TUTE Member, you will also find additional resources such as a game, test and drill with worked solutions to help you prepare for your exams.

If you are not an AUS-e-TUTE member, you can access a "free-to-view" tutorial for evaluation purposes at http://www.ausetute.com.au/heatfood.html
