High Specific Heat
Specific heat is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by a certain amount. A high specific heat means that a substance can absorb a lot of heat energy without a significant increase in temperature. Water is a great example of a substance with a high specific heat. This property is important for many natural processes and everyday activities.
Study Guide
- Definition: What is specific heat and how is it measured?
- Examples: Identify substances with high specific heat and explain their importance in everyday life.
- Properties: Compare the specific heat of water with other common substances.
- Applications: Discuss the impact of high specific heat on climate, cooking, and thermal regulation in living organisms.
- Experiments: Design an experiment to demonstrate the effects of high specific heat using water and another substance with a lower specific heat.
Understanding the concept of high specific heat is essential for comprehending various natural phenomena and technological processes. By exploring its properties and applications, you can gain a deeper appreciation for the role of specific heat in the world around us.

LIFE SCIENCE
From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
Create representations to explain the unique and diverse life cycles of organisms other than humans (e.g., flowering plants, frogs, butterflies), including commonalities such as birth, growth, reproduction, and death.
Unity and Diversity
Construct an argument from evidence to explain the likelihood of an organism’s ability to survive when compared to the resources in a certain habitat (e.g., freshwater organisms survive well, less well, or not at all in saltwater; desert organisms survive well, less well, or not at all in woodlands).
Create models that illustrate how organisms and their habitats make up a system in which the parts depend on each other.
