Conner and Hadeel are planning an investigation to determine how the mass of a substance affects its temperature change when energy is transferred to it.

• Use a fixed amount of energy to heat different masses of the same substance and measure the temperature change

• Use different substances with the same mass and measure the temperature change

• Use different amounts of energy on the same mass and measure the temperature change

• Use the same amount of energy on different substances and measure the temperature change
