Specific Heat - Wireless

In this activity you will use a temperature sensor to measure the temperature change of a volume of cool water when a hot piece of metal is placed in it. Your data will be used to determine the total amount of heat transferred from the warmer metal to the colder water, which will in turn be used to determine the specific heat of the metal sample.
