Experiment No. 19

Question: How can you discover if food contains fat?

 

Experiments: To test for fat.

Materials:

You will need:

A piece of brown paper,
a sample of food – butter.

Method:

1. We rubbed our food sample (butter) with brown paper.

2. Then we waited and observed the effect that the food had on the brown paper.

3. We recorded the results.




Result:

The butter stained the brown paper and the stain was see-through – this type of stain on the brown paper is called a translucent stain. The stain would not come off.

Conclusion:

1. If there is a permanent translucent stain on the brown paper then fat is present.

2. If there is no stain or a stain that dries away then there is no fat present.
