1. Kelvin, Celsius, and Fahrenheit (not the Taiwanese boy band)
2. The more thermal energy that something gives off, the more heat is felt, and the more the temperature is.
3. Specific heat is the amount of heat per unit of mass needed to make the temperature go up one degree Celsius. From what I researched, water has a high specific heat. Making inferences, I say that conductors have low specific heat and insulators have high specific heat.
4. An ice cube melts in your hand because your hand has a higher degree of temperature than the ice cube and is giving off more thermal energy.
5. Because some materials are conductive and some materials are insulators
