mass of the water in the calorimeter — C
mass of the metal — V
change in temperature of the water — V
change in temperature of the metal — V
volume of water in calorimeter — C
calorimeter pressure — C
specific heat of water — C

Explanation: Variables are the quantities that change or are measured as outcomes in the experiment (e.g., masses of different metals or temperature changes). Constants are controlled or known quantities kept the same (e.g., the amount of water used, ambient pressure, and the known specific heat of water).
