You have been tasked with designing a baking pan that will bake batter the fastest. There are four materials available for you to test.

Four pans of similar design, consisting of aluminum, iron $($steel$),$ copper, and glass

Oven or similar heating source

Device for measuring high temperatures

Balance for measuring mass

Instructions

Procedure

Design a safe experiment to test the specific heat of each material $($i$.$e$.,$ no extreme temperatures should be used$)$

Write down the materials needed for your experiment and the procedure you will follow. Make sure that you include every detall, so that the experiment can be repeated by others.

Carry out the experiment and record any data collected.

Review your results and make a recommendation as to which metal should be used for the pan.

a$.$ What physical quantifies do you need to measure to determine the specific heats for the different materials?

b$.$ How does the glass differ from the metals in terms of thermal properties?

c$.$ What are your sources of error?
