Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
Temperature is the average kinetic energy of a substance, while heat is the flow of kinetic energy.
- •
Heat always flows from hot to cold objects due to collisions and transfer of kinetic energy between particles.
- •
When two objects reach the same temperature, they are in equilibrium, meaning the rate of kinetic energy transfer between them is equal.
