Temperature vs. Thermal Energy

Key Terms

Temperature – The average speed of the particles in a substance (we use a thermometer to take the temperature)

Heat – Is the thermal energy transferred from an area of higher temperature to lower temperature


Thermal Energy – This is the total energy of moving particles (kinetic energy) in a solid, liquid, or gas (requires measurement of mass and speed of particles)

When viewing the video below, please substitute the term "Heat" with "Thermal Energy". This is consistent with the definition of thermal energy we learned in class.

  1. When can we expect some quizzes based on the chapter 10 worksheets?
