                          • burn a piece of food under a test tube with 10cm cubed of water in it recording the temp before and after it has burnt with a thermometer and therefore work out the temp change. to work out the energy in the food multiply the temp change by the weight of water (1 g/ 1 cm cubed) then multiply by 4.2 ( the joules of energy needed to raise the temp of 1 g of water by 1 degree c) therefore in this case if the temp change is 10 degrees c the the energy is 10 x 10 x 4.2= 420 joules. to work out joules/ gram of food (used to compare energy in more than one food) simply divide by the weight of the food
