Heat and temperature

Did you know that heat and temperature are not the same? Well if you just answered yes you are wrong! Oh but no need to panic I'm gonna tell so sit back relax and read on......

Did you know that heat and temperature are not the same thing? Heat can only be something hot/warm and temperature can be something warm and cold. A couple of weeks ago we did an experiment with warm cold and room temperature water. First we put one finger in the cold water and another in the warm water at the same time. We left that in for about 20-30 seconds then we put them in the room temperature water for about the same time. The finger that I put in the cold water was cold and the hot water was hot because the atoms were trying to get to the temperature of the water. 

Thermometers 

People use a thermometer to see what the temperature is. You might use a thermometer at home if you spike to see what your temperature is.Another experiment we did was leaving the thermometer outside over night. But before we did that we looked to see what the temperature is. It was 21.c. When we got it out the next day it was at 15.c. Everyone got a chance to look at what the temperature went up to 30.c. Me and someone else left it on the table for a few minutes and it went down to 25.c. Diagram below.

Self assessment:  I think that I did a good job but next time I could plan and add more verbs.

Buddy assessment: Wow Maia, That's the best intro I've ever heard!!! Awesome job but next time add in a bit more detail on why heat and temperature are not the same. Georgia O :)
