BACKGROUND: Unsaturated fats are okay for your body because they come from plants
unlike saturated fats that comes from dead animals.
PURPOSE: We are doing this experiment to find out how much fat is going in kids on
Halloween day when they eat Reeses.
MATERIALS:
*acetone * graduated cylinder
*beaker *stirer
*reeses *petri dish
PROCEDURE:
1.Weigh an empty beaker. After you have found the mass add 5g of your food to the beaker.
2. Record the weight.
3. Add 10ml of acetone.
4. Stir well, then let it settle for a minute.
5. Carefully pour only the acetone into the petri dish.
6. Add 10ml more of acetone ,repeat steps 4 and 5.
7. Place the petri dish with acetone and the beaker with food in a well ventilated area.
8. Allow it to settle for a day so you can see the fat that was extracted
NEXT DAY:
9.Weigh the beaker with the food and record.
10. Clean the beaker and food.
11. Calculate the weight difference and record.
12. Observe and record the appearance of the fats.
CONCLUSION:
I believe shared data should be included. Me and my partner were not able to get the correct
data because we calculated something wrong.
