Heat & Thermal Energy

Why does metal feel cold? Can a blanket keep a snowman frozen? Explore heat through 6 different ways to learn.

What you'll learn

  • Temperature vs. thermal energy — they're not the same thing
  • Three ways heat moves: conduction, convection, radiation
  • Why metal feels cold (even at room temperature)
  • Phase changes and the "hidden" energy in steam
  • How heat shapes weather, clothing, and cooking
