| This is a remake of my original in a better key for singing! I was inspired to do it by a teacher who suggested to make a video parody on "Heat versus Temperature" and I thought it was an excellent idea for students often confuse the two concepts. I want to again thank my science students for their ongoing encouragement and those students and teachers from all over the US and Canada who have offered responses. Temperature is not energy, but it is a measure of the kinetic energy of particles. Heat is measured in joules and may be potential or kinetic energy. If it is used as latent heat of fusion or vaporization, then it is potential. If it is used to raise temperature, then it is kinetic. Word are in DOCS section for dsecms on Teacher Tube or BELOW: THE HEAT and TEMPERATURE SONG (Based on the tune, "New York City Boy" sung by the Pet Shop Boys). Parody lyrics by Doug Edmonds 3/2010 REFRAIN: HEAT AND TEMPERATURE --- are related but not the same. Oohh HEAT AND TEMPERATURE --- to distinguish them is our aim ! 1) Heat is the sum -- of all energy. It's measured in joules -- and transfers from hot to cold. The heat is kinetic -- if it is used --- to speed up the particles and raise temperature. But when heat --- is used --- to cause a change --- in the state of matter And not --- to increase --- temperature ---- then it's potential ! Sing REFRAIN once 2) A thermometer measures ---- temperature in degrees, The kinetic energy -- of particles. When particles move fast, the ... |
