Okay, I got carried away with a little hype. But, Burning Calories or Soda Can Calorimeter is a great lab! Burning Calories suggests using a meat thermometer! Great idea! My suggestion is to have two soda cans to allow one to cool well. Change the water! Don’t forget to check the initial water temperature! Do three trials for each sample: Cheetos, popcorn, peanuts, saltines, etc. Here is a good overview of calorimetry. Below is a video I made to explain how to set up the soda can calorimeter. Your kiddo is doing solid science.
