Copper: Cmetal=3°c / 82g = .036585


                   

Steel: Cmetal = 3° c / 86.7g = .0346

71°C
Steel (86.7g)
21°C
24°C
67°C

Results: From the data we collected we concluded that steel has a lower specific heat capacity than copper. This means that steel heats up other objects faster than copper.
