Casually Celsius Y'know how when you put food in the microwave, it takes way longer to heat up some foods then others? Like it takes way longer to heat up leftover pizza than it does leftover fries? That's because different things store and move heat differently.     In my science class, we did this experiment where we got a piece of metal that weighed the same amount as a cup full of water. The metal piece was then heated up a lot till it reached 100° Celsius, which is like the temperature water boils at. The water was just kept at room temperature though, which is like, around 23° Celsius. We also attached one thermometer to the metal piece and put another thermometer into the water cup before we dropped the metal into the water. We then looked at the thermometers and recorded the temperatures of both the metal and water at different times.     The metal went from 100° Celsius to 26.2° Celsius which was a huge change compared to the water that only we...
