Key Stage 3

Meaning

The higher the temperature the more the particles vibrate and faster they move in the material storing energy.

The Thermal Energy Store is the an Energy Store associated with the temperature of an object.

About The Thermal Energy Store

The hotter an object the more energy in the thermal energy store.
The more mass an object has the more energy in its thermal energy store.
Different materials can store different amounts of energy at the same temperature.

Examples

An object has more energy in the thermal energy store when it is a higher temperature.
