====== Comparing Thermodynamic Terms ======

===== Prompt =====

** "What is Temperature? What is Energy? What is Entropy?" **

===== Context =====

This [[strategy:smallwhiteboard:|SWBQ]] is designed to help find how clear
students are on the differences in temperature, energy, and heat, and the
activity also helps clarify some of the confusions and misconceptions amongst
the thermodynamic terms. It also offers an opportunity to refresh students on
what entropy is, a term that many students have not seen for several
years. This is helpful because one of the greatest challenges for students in
thermodynamics is keeping track of all of the subject's terminology.
