Investigating the Heating of Different Objects

AIM: The aim of this lab is to understand how things heat up – how the

temperature of a material changes when heat is donated to it -

HYPOTHESIS:

VARIABLES:

Specific Heat – Specific heat of a material is the amount of heat per

unit mass required to raise the temperature of that material by one

degree Celsius.
