Temperature and HeatHeat is a flow of energy dueto temperature differences Temperature Depends onParticle Movement . All matter is made up of atomsthat are moving even solidobjects have atoms that arevibrating The motion from the atoms gives.the object energy The Kinetic Theory of Matter All of the particles that make up matter are constantly in motion Solid vibrating atoms Liquid flowing atoms. Gas move freely Plasma move incrediblyfast and freelywww nasa gov. Temperature The Measure ofthe average kineticenergy of all theparticles in the. The atoms massdetermine thetemperature of thecse ssl berkeley edu Temperature. Temperature ismeasured in units calleddegrees oC F K Fahrenheit Waterfreezes 32oF and boils at. Celsius Water freezes at0oC and boils at 100oCwww germes online com How does a Thermometer The thermometer can measure.temperature because thesubstance of the liquid insidealways expands increases orcontracts decreases by a certainamount due to a change in.temperature All gases liquids andmost solids expandwhen theirJoints such as.temperaturethis one areincreases used in bridgesaccommodate This is why bridges are.built with short expansion segments with small Reproduced bybreaks to allow for permission ofexpansion JLM Visuals .
