🧪 Snack Calorimeter Method Plan

Students draft their detailed methodology in their Food Energy Research Notebook: research question, hypothesis, identification of independent/dependent/controlled variables, materials list (snack mass, water volume, thermometer, balance), step-by-step procedure, number of trials, and safety steps. They specify exactly what data will be collected (mass in g, initial/final temperature in °C) and how quality will be ensured (consistent water mass, shielding from drafts, repeated trials).
