How do you use a calorimeter?

A calorimeter is used to keep heat contained in a single place as the calorimeter absorbs very little heat and the amount it absorbs can easily be calculated. To use the calorimeter heat the liquid you want (or cool) and place it in the calorimeter cup and put that in the calorimeter and place the lid on top and the thermometer in the thermometer's hole. There you go. Simple as that. A calorimeter is used to keep heat contained in a single place as the calorimeter absorbs very little heat and the amount it absorbs can easily be calculated.
