About This Product
Students burn a small quantity of food and record the change in temperature of a water sample, from which the energy released by that food can be worked out. The experiment introduces ideas in thermodynamics and links energy to food consumption, and this Biology Lab Equipment kit supplies the flask, stopper, cork and nail sample holder, suspension plate and stand needed to set it up.
