Calorimetry: Measuring Energy Content of Food

The video tutorial explains calorimetry, a method to measure thermal energy changes in processes like burning fuel. It details a school lab experiment to measure food energy using a calorimeter, describing steps such as measuring water and food sample mass, heating the sample, and recording temperature changes. The tutorial covers calculating energy transfer using specific heat capacity and discusses fair testing by controlling variables. It also highlights limitations like heat loss and suggests improvements for accurate results.
