I'm writing a curriculum for middle school students (school-based) with  
suggestions for younger and older kids.  The focus is on use of used  vegetable 
oil (UVO) as a fuel.
 
Are there any safe/effective classroom demonstrations that would allow kids  
to:
 
burn UVO and measure its energy (I remember doing that with a peanut and  
water, but wonder if it's safe to do it with oil and a bunsen burner?)
 
burn UVO and diesel and measure its relative particulate emissions (one  
person used filter paper to capture smoke, but again I'm not sure how  
safe/effective that really is)
 
Any other science projects/demos related to UVO would be wonderful, too --  
whether for elementary, middle or high schoolers.
 
Thanks!
