The hypothesis is that nuts are able to store energy and the cashew nut will have a higher energy storage capacity than the peanut.

You will make a small hole in each nut, mount them on paper clips, fill a test tube with water, set the nut on fire, and measure the temperature of the water and the weight of the nut before and after burning.

You will need a packet of peanuts, a packet of cashew nuts, 2 paper clips, a lighter, a pin, a measuring cylinder, 2 test tubes, 200g of water, a digital weighing machine, a stopwatch, and a thermometer.

The experiment showed that the nuts contained energy and the cashew nut stored a higher amount of energy than the peanut. Eating nuts instead of drinking coffee or soft drinks when feeling tired is a healthier alternative and just as tasty.

This science project is interesting because it shows that nuts can store energy and can be a healthier alternative to coffee or soft drinks.

Consider using different types of nuts such as almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts and pistachios. Also, try using 200g of water instead.
