When comparing two objects at the same temperature the smaller object has more thermal energy.

Items that test for misconception RGM106 in this project (ASPECt) and key idea (The amount of thermal energy an obj…)
Item ID Number	Item Description	How Often the Misconception was Chosen
EG032003	For two objects that are made out of the same material and are at the same temperature, the object that weighs less has less thermal energy.	22%
EG084002	For two glasses containing water at the same temperature, the glass with more water has more thermal energy than the glass with less water.	20%
EG027004	For two wooden blocks that are at the same temperature, the block that weighs more has more thermal energy.	13%
