Bellringer (Part 2):
Describe "thermal energy" in your own words.
4
1) What is temperature?
2) What does KE depend on?
3) What is the difference in how particles move in a cup of water vs a block of ice?
4) How would you describe the temperature of an object that has slow moving particles?
Look for the answer to these questions as you read:
