Elicit how a change in temperature is proportional to the quantity of thermal energy gained or lost by an object. Energy is gained or lost has heat in joules. Define specific heat capacity. Introduce the formula to determine energy gained or lost by a given mass. Introduce and discuss specific heat capacity numbers. Discuss positive and negative changes in kelvin temperature. Solve a problem to calculate energy transferred by a metal object (copper) using the specific specific heat capacity for copper.
