REF STUDY GUIDE: Big Ideas Use to answer form questions
1.Heat always transfers from warmer to cooler; 'cold' is absence of heat. Students often think cold transfers from cold objects to warm objects, but evidence from investigations shows otherwise.
2.Temperature is average kinetic energy; heat is energy transferred due to temperature difference. Students often think temperature and heat are the same thing, but evidence from investigations shows otherwise.
3.Insulators slow heat transfer; they don't create energy. Students often think insulators create warmth or coldness, but evidence from investigations shows otherwise.
