All Underlined items should be included in your final draft. Each item left out will count as Minus 3 points

Data table #1 (With Your Original Data) :(Only the Data table printed on the website will be accepted)

Data table #2 (With Your Original Data): (Only the Data table printed on the website will be accepted)

Conclusion Questions: Answer the following questions on a separate sheet of paper.

Look on the side of a Cheeto’s (or any other chip) Bag and read the Nutritional Information

  1. We often speak of the Calories associated with food. What do you think this means?
  2. Eating food helps keep us warm. How might this happen?
  3. 1 Food Calorie (Cal) is actually 1000 “Real calories.” “Real calories” are the calories used as a measurement of heat in science. How many “Real calories” are in 1 cheeto?
  4. How is the unit “Food” Calories and “Real” calories spelled different?

  8. According to the information on the side of the Cheeto bag, how many Food Calories (Cal) are in 1 cheeto?

Error Discussion: Paragraph of your thoughts about how error occurred and affected your results in this experiment.

The 3 themes that should be commented on are:

  1. Why are your % errors so high?
  2. What errors could have occurred in your lab that could have caused such high % errors
  3. How could we do this lab different/better next year to lower our % error.
