temperature

Definition: The speed at which the atoms in an object is moving.

 

 Many people get the definition of this word wrong. They say that temperature is how hot or cold something is. Temperature is actually the speed of the atoms in an object. If the atoms in an object are moving fast, they have more kinetic energy. This also means that the faster they move, the more heat they create and the slower they move, it gets colder.

SO WHAT??? SECTION: Why are we studying this term? Why do you need to understand this word to be sucessful in science? How does this term apply to any of our class labs or the real world?
