1. Virtual Lab: Specific Heat Capacity
The button below opens up a website that has very detailed explanations of the material being taught in this lesson. The best part is that it has lab simulations for measuring the heat capacity of a calorimeter as well as other substances. Students can supplement the concept presented with the simulations or work backwards and begin as an inquiry and then review with websites information.
2. Lab: How much heat will it hold?
The button below links to an alternative lab activity that involves measuring heat capacity. It is a lengthier and more in-depth lab and also comes with an entire lesson outline. This lab is a good way to make up for lack of internet access and also give students good hands on practice of lab techniques and equipment use.
