Topic: Heat and Temperature
Unit Title: The Relationship Between Heat and Temperature

A tutorial for teachers:
It is well known that many older students do not discriminate between the terms "heat" and "temperature," and even use them interchangeably when describing thermal phenomena. This confusion arises because, in the elementary grades, the words are used as though their meaning is obvious, with little attention paid to developing simple operational definitions. This resource clarifies the distinct meaning of each of these terms and the relationship between them.
