• The level of electricity in a material
• The average amount of kinetic energy of particles in a material

Kinetic Energy is...

• Energy an object has because it is moving
• Energy an object has because it is hot
• Energy an object has because it is cold
• Energy an object has because it has electricity

Thermal Energy is...

• Energy an object has because it is moving

• Energy an object has because it has electricity

Why did the food coloring dissolve faster in the HOT water cup than in the COLD water cup?

• The hot water melted the food coloring.
• The hot water had more kinetic energy, so it moved the particles of food coloring around more quickly.
• The food coloring particles were more attracted to the hot water particles.
• Food coloring does not work well in cold water.

Which of these two liquids has MORE kinetic energy to start with?

• Hot tea
• Iced tea
