Ck 12 Exploration Series: Simulations: Physics: Hot Oven
[Free Registration/Login Required] Do you know why the metal in the oven burns your skin but the air in the oven doesn't? This simulation will show you the relationship between heat energy and temperature.
Exploratorium
Exploratorium: Science Snacks: Cold Metal
An activity to show you that your hand is not an accurate measurement of temperature.

Physics Labs/specific Heat (C) of Metal
A complete set of directions, notes, and suggestions for a lab involving the determination of the specific heat values for various metals. Suitable for a student project or lab investigation.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Specific Heat of Metals
In this activity, students' will use a Temperature Sensor to understand how heat is transferred between substances and the concept of thermal equilibrium. They learn about specific heat and how it can be used to identify an unknown sample.
