Specific Heat of a Metal Lab

We did a lab to measure the specific heats of copper and lead by heating the metals in a hot water bath and figuring out the variables for MCAT. Overall Liesel and I were sastified because we yielded only a 4% error. Now for Dylan Kossl I can't say he yielded a good percent error *cough cough* like 120% error *cough*. Here is a video of our test tube making a popping sound. 
Here is some pictures of the copper in the test tube.

  1. My partner and I also had copper and we had a really good percent error. The group we took the lead data from also had an extremely high percent error, so I think the lead didn't work as well as the copper in this lab.
