Think of different ways you could measure it and describe those methods. Check the reference section of a library for the CRC Handbook for the specific heat of known reference materials. Does the specific heat change with temperature? How could you test that? Think about measurement methods you could do, without fancy or expensive equipment. Think about how you could test how good your equipment is and how you can get the best accuracy from it. If you actually do it, you can make a good science project of it.

First go to Schaum's Outline Series in Physics. There are many solved problems using the specific heat. Next, try any books like Physics for Dummies. Once you have a handle on the concept of specific heat, look at the solved problems and your paper will come to you
