Fair test To make this experiment a fair test I will make sure that all crisps that I burn are the same weight, to ensure fair results. I will also make sure that the height between the burning crisp and the boiling tube full of water is 5 cm, top ensure that the crisps are burned fairly .I will also make sure that the starting temperature of the water is 20 C through out the experiment .To ensure that the results are Wright and are fairly done I will repeat the burning of each crisp twice and then find the average temperature of both readings to determine the amount of energy the crisps that are being burnt are producing. I will also make sure that there is the same amount of water in the boiling tube for each crisp that is burnt. I am going to use 5 types of crisps;...

"You carried out the experiment quite well, but you didnt do is compare the amount of joules to the amount on the back of the crisp packet. Also emergy is lost ehy you ignite it, energy is lost when you transfer the crisp to under the test tube, energy is lost up the sides of the test tube, energy is lost through light given off, energy is lost through transfer through the test tube to the water, energy is lost by the air making contact with the test tube and water... Il stop now. Apart from that it was quite good"
