What is increase?
the faster the molecules are moving the ________ they are.
hotter

When we count all the movement the air molecules have inside a jar, we are not finding temperature but this fancy term.
What is Thermal Energy?
Geothermal power plants send water through pipes deep underground where it is hot. This causes the temperature of the water to increase.
What happens to the speed of molecules of the water when the temperature of the water increases?
What is speed up?
When a hot stove finally cools off to the same temperature as the room it is in.
What is equilibrium?
When energy moves from one thing to another.
This happens when 2 molecules collide with each other
What is transfer?
