Suggested Activities
the Plan
Awareness 1. Prayer
2. Checking of the attendance
3. Checking/Passing of the assignment
4. The teacher will give instructions to the students;
Unscramble and define the following terms related to heat capacity. The first letter of
every word is already in its proper location.
a. HTAE CYTACAIP = ____________
b. SFEPICIC HATE = ____________
c. TUTEREERPAM = ____________
d. MSSA = ____________
e. SESACUNTB = ____________
Activity 1. Divide the class/students into 5 to 6 groups.
2. Give instructions to the students about the activities.
(See attachment for the procedure.)
3. Let the students perform the activities.
4. Students will report their outputs to the class.
Analysis The teacher will ask the following questions to the students;
1. What is heat capacity? What is specific heat capacity?
2. Which liquid requires more heat to increase in temperature by 5 degrees? Cooking oil?
Water?
3. Which liquid has a greater heat capacity? Cooking oil? Water?
4. What are the various properties of a substance that determine its heat capacity?
Abstraction Heat capacity (C) is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a body 1 K or
0¿
1C .¿
Specific heat capacity or specific heat of any substance is defined as the quantity of heat
required to change the temperature of a unit mass of the substance by 1 degree.
Different materials have different specific heat capacities. Many metals have low specific
heat capacities. This makes them easy to heat up and cool down. Water, on the other hand,
has a high specific heat capacity and so it takes a long time to heat and a long time to cool.
This makes the water a good coolant for car radiators. Because of its high specific heat
capacity, it can absorb a large amount of heat without causing its temperature.
The heat capacity is the quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance
by one degree Celsius. It is a measure of how much heat the object must gain or lose to
change its temperature by a given amount. The SI unit for heat capacity is J/K (joule per
Kelvin). In the English system, its units are British thermal units per pound per degree
Fahrenheit (Btu/oF).
The heat capacity differs from substance to substance. The amount of substance is
directly proportional to the heat capacity. This means the amount of a substance (mass)
determines its heat capacity; the more quantity of a substance or the greater the mass, more
heat it would gain or lose to change its temperature by 1C. For example, it would take more
heat to warm the pitcher of water by 1C than to warm a cup of water by 1C.
The heat capacity also depends on the nature or type of material of which the object is
composed; different materials require different amounts of heat gain or heat loss to change
their temperature by 1°C, even if they have the same masses. For example, it takes 1
calorie of sunlight to warm 1g of water 1°C, whereas, it only takes 0.2 calories to
change the temperature of 1g of soil by 1C
Heat capacity might depend on the temperature of the object or the atmospheric pressure.
For a gas, heat capacity would depend on whether pressure was being held constant during
the heat gain or loss, or whether the volume was held constant, or neither.
Assessment The teacher will ask the following questions to the students;
1. What is heat capacity? What is specific heat capacity?
2. Which liquid requires more time to increase in temperature by 5 degrees?
3. How will you compare the specific heat capacity of iron and lead? Mercury and silver?
Assignment Students will answer this question;
1. How are heat and temperature different?
2. Bring the following materials;
a. short bond paper
b. pen

Remarks
Objectives:
After performing this activity, you should be able to compare the heat capacities of the given liquid
samples.
Materials:
2 identical small containers (each with 100mL of liquid sample)
2 identical large containers (large enough to accommodate the small containers)
2 thermometers
hot water
liquid samples: water, cooking oil
Note: Store the liquid samples in the same room to ensure that both are at room temperature when you do the
activity.
Procedure:
1. Pour 100mL of water into one of the small containers and the same amount of cooking oil into the other
container. Measure and record their initial temperature in Table 1 below.
Table 1
2. Place the small container with oil in a larger container with hot water. Make sure that the hot water does not
mix with the liquid sample.
3. Measure the time it takes for the oil to increase in temperature by 5 °C. Example, if the initial temperature of
the liquid is 28C, take the time it takes for the temperature to reach 33C. Record your measured heating
time in Table 1
4. Do the same with the water sample. Make sure that the amount and temperature of the hot water is the same
for both samples. Record also your measurement in Table 1.
