Exploring Specific Heat Capacity and Thermal Conductivity Kit

Engage students with the discrepant events of catching money on fire without it burning and boiling water in a paper cup. Four groups investigate thermal conductivity using conductometers, 4 different groups calculate the specific heat of copper and aluminum shot, and then the groups switch tasks. With this knowledge, challenge your students to explain these discrepant events. Includes demonstration materials, lab materials, and instructions.
