Temperature and Heat

 

1. What happens to the molecules when the temperature increases? (think about kinetic
energy)

2. What happens to the molecules when the temperature decreases? (think about kinetic
energy)

3. Describe the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy.

4. Where is the energy coming from to heat up these molecules and make them go faster?

5. Where is the energy transferred to when the molecules cool down and move slower?
6. Find three objects in the room and describe the temperature (average kinetic energy). Draw
a picture of its molecules and the kinetic energy in these boxes.
