The SI unit of heat is joule (J). Common unit of heat is calorie. CALORIE the amount of heat needed to change the temperature of one gram of water from the pressure of the atmosphere. TEMPERATURE LAYMAN’S TERM - It is the degree of hotness or coldness of an object. Molecular level - A measure of the average kinetic energy of these molecules. Based from our sensory experiences: “Can we use our senses to determine temperature?” THERMOMETER TYPES OF THERMOMETER The most common type of the thermometer. THERMOCOUPLE -two different metals (usually copper and iron) that are twisted together INFRARED THERMOGRAMS -a device (camera) that measures the amount of radiant energy given off by an object TEMPERATURE SCALES TEMPERATURE SCALES
