Specific Heat Capacity of Aluminium Experiment - GCSE Physics Required Practical
This video allows students to carry out an experiment on the specific heat capacity of aluminium from home. This is a required practical for students to be able to understand and carry out for GCSE Physics.
A 1.005 kg block of aluminium is heated by an immersion heater. A temperature reading is taken every minute for 10 minutes. The temperature and the energy required to heat the block is plotted on a graph, the gradient of which is used to then calculate the specific heat capacity of aluminium.
The full results as well as a blank table for students to fill in using the video can be found here:

dang i wish u posted this earlier and that I had found your channel earlier. This came up in my mocks and I had no clue lol Great video as always!
Thanks for helping me during lockdown home learning. Keep up making up energy transfers practical lessons please.
Thanks for posting its helping me a lot
really helps with my homework, thanks :)
Had to come back to this for 2022 exams tysm!
