Burning Cheetos for Science
Junior High students have nothing against Cheetos; their burning of Cheetos this week was purely scientific - part of a lab in which they had to calculate the calories contained in a Cheeto. Each team designed their own set-up to most effectively burn a Cheeto suspended under a handmade tinfoil test tube containing water. The object: to record the change in water temperature before and after the burning of the Cheeto - thus determining the calories in a Cheeto. Some decided, however, to focus on the artistry of the design, rather than being purely functional.
