Question 3
Chapter 6 : Nutrition
Learning Outcome :

Design an experiment to investigate the energy value of different food sample

Energy is needed to perform physical activities and to sustain vital functions such as
breathing, heartbeat and for maintaining body temperature. The energy required by the
body is generated by the oxidation of molecules obtained from food during cellular
respiration.
Alis mother bought 3 types of nuts; peanuts, cashew and almond nuts to make
cookies for his birthday party. She was wondering which nuts can provide Ali and his
friends with the most amount of energy.

Based on the above statement and situation, plan a laboratory experiment to investigate
the energy value of different nuts.

The planning for the experiment must include the following aspects:

Problem statement
Aim of experiment
Hypothesis
Variables
List of apparatus and material
Technique used
Experimental procedure or method
