P1a- Heating Houses

Temperature is the measure of how HOT something is (in degrees celcius).

Temperature can be identified in a THERMOGRAM.

The temperature of a object is a measurement of the AVERAGE KINETIC ENERGY of the PARTICLES in that object

HEAT is a measurement of ENERGY and is measured in JOULES.

HEAT is a measurement of energy on an ABSOLUTE scale (joules)

HEAT energy flows from a hotter region to a cooler region. 

An object that has a very high temperature will cool very quickly. As the temperature drops, it cools at a slower rate. The rate of heating/cooling depends on the difference between the temperature of the object and the temperature of the surroundings. The greater the difference, the greater the rate.
