• temperature
• motion
• momentum

Heat transfer occurs

• in many directions
• both from warm to cold and cold to warm
• only from warm to cold
• only from cold to warm

The more particles an object has a given temperature

• the higher its temperature
• the more thermal energy it has
• the more degrees it has
• the more kelvins it has
