🧠 Concept Builder: What is Heat vs Temperature?

🧠 Heat vs Temperature

Interactive Concept Builder

🔥 HEAT

Heat is the total energy of all moving particles in a substance. More particles = more heat energy!

Heat = Total Energy of All Particles

Particles: 5

🌡️ TEMPERATURE

Temperature is the average speed of particles. Same particles, different speeds!

Temperature = Average Particle Speed

Speed: Medium

🔍 Key Differences

🔥 Heat

• Total energy of ALL particles
• More stuff = more heat
• Measured in Joules
• Can be transferred

🌡️ Temperature

• Average speed of particles
• Same for any amount
• Measured in °C or °F
• Shows how hot something feels

🧩 Test Your Knowledge

Which has more HEAT: A large pot of warm water or a small cup of hot water?

Small cup of hot water (higher temperature)

Large pot of warm water (more total energy)

They have the same heat
