Project 1
Energizing Foods: Which foods contain carbohydrates and fats?
Purpose
This project will help you analyze a typical meal to discover which foods provide the energy we need for our day-to-day activities. You will test for fats and for starches. Fats supply energy and are stored in the body for times when energy levels are low, such as when you exercise or miss a meal. The starches in carbohydrates also provide energy.
Level of Difficulty
Easy.
Materials Needed
- iodine with dropper
- brown paper bags cut into 10 or more 4-inch (10-centimeter) squares
- clear glass dinner plate
- a typical meal (For example, a lunch consisting of a turkey and Swiss cheese sandwich with tomato, lettuce, and mayonnaise; milk; potato chips. Or a dinner of hamburger, pasta salad, corn bread, milk, and cake with icing)
