Specific Heat of a Metal Lab

Yesterday, we did a lab to measure the specific heats of copper and lead by heating the metals in a hot water bath and figuring out the variables for MCAT. I'm pretty satisfied because our copper trial yielded only a 4% error for the specific heat! 



Some review links for the first lesson:

  4. Good job on your experiment i think I got about a 56% error so you did a lot better. Thank you for the links!
