Lesson 4: Temperature, Heat and Thermal Energy

Select all that describe heat.

• a form of energy

• moves from areas of more heat to less heat

• a measure of temperature

• the energy that is transferred from one object to another.

What is thermal energy?

• the energy that is transferred from one object to another

• the total kinetic (moving) energy of all the atoms in an object

• how hot or cold something is

• a nice thing to think about

What is temperature?

• A thermometer

• a measure of how much kinetic energy something has.

• an abundance of heat

• a form of energy

Which has more thermal energy, a pot of soup or a 6 foot snowbank outside?

• pot of soup

• 6 foot snowbank

• they are the same

• yummy, I like soup

What is heat capacity?

• How much heat you can handle

• How much boiling water a container can hold

• How temperature is measured

• How well an object can hold its heat

How confident are you in being able to explain and know the differences between heat, thermal energy and temperature?

• Super confident! I got this! I could explain it to someone else.

• Sort of confident. I get most of it but should go back and review more.

• I don't get it. I really need to go back and redo this section. I should probably ask for some help.

When you touch something that feels cold, 

• heat from your hand moves into the cold substance.
• coldness moves from the cold substance into your hand.
• it melts.
• it freezes.
