Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles of matter. The relationship between the temperature and the total energy of a system depends on the types, states, and amounts of matter present.

EG049002	For two objects that are made up of the same type of molecule and the same number of molecules, the molecules of the object with more thermal energy have the greater average speed.
EG054002	Water has more thermal energy than ice because the molecules of water are moving faster than the molecules of ice.
EG056004	The thermal energy of an object depends on the speed and number of molecules that make up the object.
EG074002	The thermal energy of an object depends on the number and motion energy of the molecules that make up the object.
EG055004	The thermal energy of an object depends on the speed and type of molecules that make up the object.
EG046003	When the average speed of molecules increases, the thermal energy of an object increases.
EG048003	For two objects that are made up of the same type of molecule and the same number of molecules, the molecules of the object with more thermal energy have more motion energy.
EG052004	For two balloons that contain the same number of helium atoms, the helium atoms in the balloon with the greater thermal energy are moving at the greater average speed.

EG026003	For two glasses containing the same amount of milk, the glass of milk with the higher temperature has more thermal energy than the glass of milk with the lower temperature.
EG028004	For two balloons that contain the same amount of air, the air with the lower temperature has less thermal energy than the air with the higher temperature.
