Turning up the heat
In AP Chemistry, teacher Delilah Narvaez’s students try to find the specific heat of an unknown metal. The metal is placed in a graduated cylinder then in a beaker filled half way with water while students collect measurements that allow them to determine the metal’s specific heat.

"We've had no issues, no snafus. Everything's been running smoothly, and we've been getting kids to class on time.”](https://westshoreroar.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/IMG_9979-1200x800.jpg)
