  • Temperature is related to heat but is not the same
  • Temperature is a measure of how hot something is
  • The unit for temperature is celsius, named after Anders Celsius
  • The human body's temperature is equal to 33 degrees

  • Heat energy will always transfer from a hotter substance to a colder substance
  • Conduction is when heat moves through direct touch
  • Heat convection is the process of heat transferring from hotter regions to cooler regions
