Heat makes a metal expand. If you take a metal ball and an metal loop that the ball fits in and then heat the ball and try to put it back in the loop it will not go back through. :)

Describe how you could determine the specific heat of a metal?

You would do a calorimetry experiment. There are a number of ways to do this depending on what type of material you have. Essentially, you add a known amount of heat to an object, and you measure the temperature change (the mass of the object must be known, and also it must be as well insulated as possible.See the Web Links for more information about calorimetry experiments.joules_____________(celcius)(grams)
