Calorie Meter

Overview

Objectives/Goals my goal was to find out wich nut has more callories per gram. Methods/Materials This project helped me to understand calorie meter; what it does; how it works; and, understanding calories. Materials: 5 Whole almonds; 5 shelled peanuts; 5 whole cashews; 1 lighter or matches; 1 candle stick; 600ml water; 1 kitchen scale that measures in grams; 1 jug or large container; 1 can opener; 1 test tube; 1 large metal can (like coffee can); 1 drill or hammer; 1 nail; 1 rubber holder around test tube; 1 safety water bowl; 1 thermometer that measures in celsius; 1 needle; 1 cork. etc. Results Almonds produced the most calories per gram. Conclusions/Discussion My hypothesis was correct; almonds do produced the most calories per gram. The reason I believe it did is because the almonds looked and felt more solid. Cashews produced the least calories per gram. Peonuts ranked in the middle. There is a difference between chemical calories and dietary calories. A dietary calorie is one thousand times bigger than a chemical calorie; so, I had to devide by one thousand as shown in the graphs.
