As we continue to study energy, this week we will dive specifically into thermal energy and investigate the difference between thermal energy, heat, and temperature and discover what thermometers actually measure. Monday we will use some awesome animations on the computer to compare heat, temperature, and thermal energy. We will discuss this on Tuesday and, if time allows, begin investigating thermometers. After talking about these topics we will take a look at how thermal energy is transfered to different objects through the processes of convection (which we already talked about during Earth Science!), conduction, and radiation.
