Humans are consumers in food webs. Construct graphic organizers, draw cartoons, make a collage, perform a skit, or compose a song. Communicate through written and oral expression. Measure mass and temperature and determine the relationships between temperature changes and heat energy in foods. Organize data and calculate their energy use.
Safety is always a concern in the science lab.
Teachers may prefer to demonstrate the use of the calorimeter and assign students the job of reading the thermometer, etc. Accepted safety precautions should be taken when using an open flame, including the use of standard protective eyewear. Obtain a clean aluminum soft drink can. Set the can on a fire pad over a ring stand. Use a ring stand and clamp to suspend a thermometer through the opening of the can.
