When we talk about heat and temperature in science, it's important to understand how they are different.

Heat is all about energy!

It’s the total amount of energy from tiny particles in a substance.

Heat usually moves from a hot place to a cooler one.

Temperature is different.

It’s a way to measure how hot or cold something is.

Temperature tells us about the average energy of those particles.

So, to put it simply:

Heat is energy, and temperature measures how much energy is there!
