A3

Format Typed and doubled spaced Written in a passive voice Key Point #1 What is specific heat and what does it mean if specific heat is high or low? Key Point #2 What is a calorimeter? What makes it a closed system? Key Point #3 What is the Law of Conservation of Energy and how was it applied in your calorimetry experiment? Procedure Procedure is described briefly so that the reader has a general understanding of the set-up of the experiment without excessive unnecessary extreme detail. Key Point #4 Calculated average specific heat of aluminum is stated and compared to the literature value of 0.897 J/gºC Key Point #5 Experimental percent error is stated and possible sources of error are mentioned. The major assumption that the initial temperature of the I rod was the same as the boiling water is discussed. Conclusion Paragraph Experimental specific heat is re-stated along with the percent error. Example of specific heat in everyday life is described. Grammar/Flow No major grammar or spelling issues. Discussion has flow, meaning information is presented in a way that naturally leads from one sentence to the next and is not just random facts stated in no particular order.
