Heat vs. Temperature: What's the Difference?

When high school physics learners are studying specific heat, you can offer this resource to help them practice performing calculations. There are two pages of problems to solve. You could assign them together as homework, or separate...

What is the difference between heat and temperature? Learners conduct an experiment and collect data to determine the connection between heat and temperature. The investigation helps them realize that heat may be absorbed or released...

Use an exciting role play activity to teach young chemists about the importance of heat transfer in maintaining homeostasis. They assume the role of a dog sled owner who has been abandoned and must fend for themselves with only a few...

When you're hot, you're hot! But, how does something get hot? Young scientists discover the properties of heat energy in an insightful video. The narrator discusses the differences between kinetic and potential energy, how heat transfers...

Specific Heat, Heat of Fusion, and Vaporization are the concepts covered in this chemistry video. Sal takes students through exactly what happens to the molecules present in water as heat energy is added, and solid water changes to...

In this chemistry video, Sal takes a closer look at what happens to the change in enthalpy during a chemical reaction. He points out that the enthalpy change, given constant pressure, becomes the heat added to the system at that constant...

Do we actually feel temperature? Examine the relationship between what we feel and what is actually taking place in a video about temperature misconceptions. The narrator asks random passersby to feel different objects, then has them...

What is the difference between heat and temperature? By examining the properties of wood, metal, and plastic, high school chemists explore the concept of heat vs. temperature. Ensure that your high schoolers are following the procedure...

Did you know that poison and venom are not the same? Both are toxic, but poison must be inhaled, ingested, or absorbed, while venom must be injected into a wound. The narrator explains that some toxic compounds may be used for good, as...

If objects have no heat, how do they can gain and lose it? Scholars experiment with heat, temperature, and specific heat of various substances. They create definitions for these terms based on their own conclusions to complete the fourth...
