Fun with fire!

Here are a few pictures from an experiment I did with my M2 class last week. We are learning about calories, food and nutrition and so we did an experiment to determine the amount of energy in cereal and cashews (to compare the energy in carbohydrates versus fats). It was a blast! The kids loved lighting the cereal and nuts on fire and watching them burn. It was great to see their reaction as they saw the difference between the cereal and the nut. Enjoy!
