Poll

Bellringer (Part 1):

The toughest thermal energy vocab word for me is...

Thermal Equilibrium

Conduction

Convection

Radiation

Other (temperature, thermal energy, heat)

3

Open Ended

Bellringer (Part 2):

Describe "thermal energy" in your own words.

4

Reading

1) What is temperature?

2) What does KE depend on?

3) What is the difference in how particles move in a cup of water vs a block of ice?

4)​ How would you describe the temperature of an object that has slow moving particles?

Look for the answer to these questions as you read:
