Temperature is...

• How much kinetic energy a molecule has

• How hot or cold something is

• How much a atom or molecule moves

• All of these are correct

Temperature is...

• All of these things

• Remember to think of temperature in terms of a solid, liquid and gas water particle.

• When water is ice "Cold" temperature the molecules don't move (less kinetic or mechanical energy)

• When water is a gas "Warm" temperature the molecules move A LOT and bounce around (More kinetic or mechanical energy)
