What is the difference between temperature and heat?
AThere is no difference
BTemperature measures particle speed; heat is energy flowing between objects
CHeat is measured with a thermometer; temperature is not
DTemperature is for liquids; heat is for solids
Temperature tells you how fast particles are moving (how hot or cold something is). Heat is the energy that transfers from a warmer object to a cooler one.
Question 2 True / False
Heat always flows from a warmer object to a cooler object.
TTrue
FFalse
Answer: True
Heat energy naturally flows from regions of higher temperature to regions of lower temperature until both reach the same temperature.
Question 3 Short Answer
If you put a metal spoon in a cup of hot soup, which direction does the heat flow?
Think about your answer, then reveal below.
Model answer: Heat flows from the hot soup into the cooler spoon.
The soup is warmer than the spoon, so heat energy transfers from the soup to the spoon, making the spoon feel hot.
