Standard specefic heat capacity experiment using heaters and metal blocks.
Record mass, current and voltage and then record temperature and time every 30s for 10mins.
Plot temp. vs. time.
E=IVt=mcT, gradient = T/t = IV/mc;
c = 1/gradient x IV/m
Here is a link to wikipedia's table of specific heat capacities
