Year 11 Chemistry students explored endothermic and exothermic reactions, key chemical reactions that absorb and release heat. During the class, we were asked to light food on fire, under a test tube of water.
After multiple tests, we were led to the conclusion that the energy gained in rise of temperature was equal to the energy contained in the food we were burning. During the experiment, we were given many different foods to burn, such as Light and Tangy chips, Burger Rings and Cheetos which we all tried our hardest not to eat no matter how tempted we were.
Ms Goodwin described it as one of our most productive lessons, and I wholeheartedly agree!
