Thermal Energy Mo8-L5a: How are Temperature, Kinetic Energy,
and Heat Related and Different?
Lesson 5
Heat
In this topic, you will learn the following
lessons: is the movement of thermal energy from a warmer
object to a cooler object
Mo.8 – L5a: How are Temperature, Kinetic
Energy, and Heat Related and
Different?
How are Temperature, Kinetic Energy,
Mo8-L5a
and Heat Related and Different?
KEY CONCEPTS:
1. How are temperature and kinetic energy related?
2. How do heat and thermal energy differ?
Vocabulary A-Z Let’s Begin
Let us learn some vocabulary
Kinetic and Potential Energy
Thermal energy
Potential energy is stored energy due to the
is the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential interaction between two objects.
energy of the particles that make up a material.
The potential energy plus the kinetic energy of an
object is the mechanical energy of the object.
Temperature
represents the average kinetic energy of the particles
that make up a material.
Every solid, liquid, and gas is made up of trillions of
tiny particles that are constantly moving.
Because particles are in motion, they have kinetic
energy.
The faster particles move, the more kinetic energy
they have.
