Students designed an experiment to determine the amount of calories in a chocolate chip cookie. A ring stand was used with a clean aluminum soda can hung from the ring that was partially filled with a known mass of water. A thermometer was placed inside the can so that it measured the temperature of the water but did not touch any part of the metal can. Once set-up was complete, an initial water temperature was taken. The cookie was then lit on fire and allowed to completely burn. A final temperature of the water was measured. Refer to the experimental set-up for calories in a chocolate chip cookie. How does this experiment allow students to measure the calories in a cookie
