Heat Energy Definitions:
Heat Energy(a.k.a Thermal Energy) is the total amount of Kinetic Energy of all the particles in a substance.
Synonyms: Thermal Energy
Antonym (Non-Example): A lot of people will think that Thermal Energy is going to define how hot or cold a substance is but it’s not!
Explanation: If molecules of water, for example, are moving really fast that means (1) the molecules have a lot of Kinetic Energy and (2)if there’s a lot of Kinetic Energy than (3)there’s a lot of Thermal Energy.
Other Related Definitions Heat is the transfer of Thermal Energy between substances of two different temperatures.
Temperatureis a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
Kinetic Energyis energy of an object or particle that is in motion.

Old Mac Donald Had a Farm Song
Old MacDonald had a farm.
EEE – III – energy.
Heat energy is a.k.a
Thermal energy!
With kinetic energy, here and there
Here is some, there is some, is thermal energy
Old MacDonald had a farm.
EEE – III – energy.
Old MacDonald had a farm.
EEE – III – energy.
And sum all the particles of a substance and get
Thermal energy and temperature.
The total, amount of, kinetic energy will
Equal thermal energy,
EEE – III – energy.
Extra Notes:
*Thegreaterthe Kinetic Energyof the particles of the substance, the more Thermal Energy it has. It also depends on the number of particles in a substance; the more particles the more Thermal Energythe substance has.
*More Thermal Energy doesn’t necessarily mean a higher temperature. Example: The Ocean has way more Thermal Energy than a pot of hot boiling water because the ocean is so massive.
Examples:
This ice berg has way more thermal energy than a pot of boiling water because the ice berg is way more massive than a pot of boiling water. Even though the molecules in an ice berg isn’t moving as fast as the molecules inside a pot of boiling water.
Molecules in this beaker of water have kinetic energy so that means it has heat energy. If you add all the kinetic energy all together you’ll get the total amount of heat energy.
