To understand the difference between heat and temperature, let's break it down into simple ideas about energy and measurements:

1. Heat as Energy:

   • Heat is all about energy moving from one thing to another.
   • For example, when you warm up a pot of water on the stove, you are putting energy into the water. This makes the water molecules move faster, so they have more energy.
   • We measure heat in something called joules (J). Heat can travel from one object to another until both objects are the same temperature.

2. Temperature as Measurement:

   • Temperature is how we measure how hot or cold something is.
   • It shows us the average energy of the tiny particles in a substance.
   • We can measure temperature in degrees Celsius (°C), Kelvin (K), or Fahrenheit (°F).

In short, heat is the energy that moves around, while temperature tells us how much heat energy is in something. Think of heat as the action and temperature as the score that shows how things are going!
