Energy Test Reflection

On Friday, we took our unit test for Energy. This whole unit flew by as there were only two lectures and one lab, and everything was pretty straightforward. Thus, I felt like the test was pretty simple and nothing to stress over this weekend.

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!
