Understanding Specific Heat and Thermal Conductivity Through Graph Analysis
State your claim about heat transfer in different materials.
1
Explain the concept of specific heat and how it relates to the temperature changes observed in dirt, water, and sand as shown in the graph. Begin your response with a claim about which material has the highest specific heat and support your claim with evidence from the graph.
2
Based on the graph, make a claim about the relationship between specific heat and the time it takes for a material to change temperature. Provide evidence from the graph to explain how specific heat affects the heating and cooling rates of dirt, water, and sand.
3
Describe how the concepts of specific heat and thermal conductivity can be used to explain why sand changes temperature faster than water and dirt, as shown in the graph. Start with a claim that summarizes the relationship between these two properties and temperature change.
4
For your final sentence, restate your claim and the strongest piece of evidence that supports it.
