What are high temperatures?

High temperatures are when things get hot, like when you leave your soda in the sun all day.

Imagine you're holding a piece of metal, like a spoon from the kitchen. When it’s cold, it feels smooth and cool in your hand. But if you put it near a fire or on the stove, it starts to feel warm, then hot, until it's almost too much to touch! That’s what happens when something has a high temperature, it has a lot of heat energy inside it.

We use a special tool called a thermometer, which shows numbers. When the number is big, like 90 or even 100, that means it's really hot, like a summer day outside or when you're jumping into a lake on a hot day!

When something gets hot, it’s because its particles are moving faster and bumping into each other more. It’s like a group of kids running around in a room, the more they move, the hotter it feels!
