In the Specific Heat Set Thermodynamics Laboratory, heat up to five different metal cylinders to exactly the same temperature and aid the discussion of calorimetry, specific heat and heat capacity.

Heat up five different metal cylinders to exactly the same temperature, add each to a precise amount of water at known temperature and observe the water temperature change. What variation! Why? Students perform a lab activity and calculate the specific heat of each metal specimen.

Includes five cylinders—aluminum, copper, steel, tin and zinc, each with the same 58-g mass and 19-mm diameter.
