    What is
    Temperature is a measurement of the average energy of
    all the particles in a solid, liquid, or gas.

    Temperature is a measurement of the average energy of all the particles in a


    solid, liquid, or gas. All matter is made of moving particles. Hotter substances
    have particles that are moving quickly, and colder substances have particles
    that are moving slowly. However, the particles in a given substance are not all
    moving at the same rate. Temperature is used to calculate the average
    energy of a substance.

    Thermometers are instruments that are used to measure temperature. There


    are thermometers for cooking, weather, freezers, fridges, and medical uses.
    Most of the world measures temperature in degrees Celsius (°C). In the USA
    and a few other countries, degrees Fahrenheit (°F) are used. Scientists often
    use kelvins (K) to measure temperature.

    C -40° -30° -20° -10° 0° 10° 20° 30° 40°

    F -40° -20° 0° 20° 40° 60° 80° 100° 120°

    What is the temperature What would the temperature


    shown on the thermometer? be if it were 10 °C cooler?

    Celsius Fahrenheit Celsius Fahrenheit

    Maeve adjusts the thermostat on her home so that the temperature


    is cooler. Explain what is happening to the particles in this situation.

    Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change its


    volume and density when there is a change in temperature.

    Thermal expansion describes how the volume and density


    of matter fluctuate depending on temperature. As
    temperature rises, the density and volume increases. The
    opposite is true when a gas is cooled. This is called thermal
    contraction.

    Solids and liquids also expand and contract. Liquids


    expand and contract less than gases, and solids expand
    and contract less than liquids.

    Water is one exception to this rule. When water freezes, it


    expands by approximately 5% of its original volume.

    Suppose you had a large balloon filled with air. What would happen if:
    a) The air in the balloon was heated.

    b) The air in the balloon was cooled.

    Water is an exception to what would typically happen when a liquid is


    cooled. What happens to a liquid that is not water when the temperature
    decreases? Why?

    Experiment
    Question: What will freeze faster: hot or cold water?

    Materials:
    ● An ice cube tray of hot water
    ● An ice cube tray of cold water
    ● Freezer
    ● Stopwatch

    Write your hypothesis (educated guess):

    Note: It is a good idea to start this experiment in the morning, to allow for
    enough time for your water to freeze.

    Procedure:

    1. Put your ice cube trays of hot water and cold water in the freezer at
    the same time.
    2. Start your stopwatch timer.
    3. Keep the stopwatch near you. Every 20 minutes, check on your
    trays to see which freezes first.
    4. Record your observations.
    5. Take the trays out of the freezer and stop the timer once they are
    both entirely frozen.

    Which froze faster: the hot or cold water?

    Did this confirm your hypothesis? Why or why not?

    Why do you think this result occurred?
