What is the difference between temperature, thermal energy, and heat? What instrument is used to measure temperature? Explain how this instrument measures temperature? Calculations – Fill-in the blanks to complete the following temperature conversion formulas. Make sure you know these formulas for the test (they will not be given to you). °___ = (1.8 * ___) + _____

°___ = ______ + 273

°___ = (___ - ___) ÷ 1.8 Problems - Use the formulas above to solve the following problems. The high temperature in Edmonton, Alberta was 8°C yesterday. Using 3 steps to

solve, convert this temperature to degrees Fahrenheit and Kelvin.

The low temperature in Miami, Florida was 62°F yesterday. Using 3 steps to solve,

convert this temperature to degrees Celsius.

What is specific heat? Which object would have a larger value for specific heat, a

conductor or an insulator?
