Principle
The absorption of thermal energy depends on the specific heat capacity of a material. Thus, for the same amount of energy per time (heat output), a material with a higher heat capacity needs more time to reach a certain temperature for the same amount of material.
Benefits
- Particularly understandable and didactically prepared description of the experiment (relevance to everyday life etc.) including protocol questions
- Future-oriented teaching: Integration into digital science lessons with tablets
- Increased motivation of students by using the intuitive measureAPP
- Increase of media competence
Tasks
The students heat 100 g and 100 ml of water and glycerine with an electric heating coil and measure the temperature increase as a function of time.
Learning objectives
The students analyze the heating process of glycerine in comparison with water.
