What is temperature?
A measure of the average kinetic energy of all the particles within an object.
Understand how energy is transferred by conduction, convection, and radiation.
Conduction- as heat between particles as they collide within a substance, convection- fluids, radiation- electromagnetic waves

Radiation
What is specific heat?
Describes how much energy is required to raise an object's temperature.
