Heat and temperature

Fourth year of secondary education

OBJECTIVES

To distinguish the concepts of heat and temperature.
To understand how a thermometer works.
To understand the effect of heat exchange on the temperature of a body or its state of aggregation.
To define the concept of equilibrium temperature, and to use it to determine the equilibrium temperatures or calorimetric magnitudes in mixtures of substances with different temperatures.
