Exploring Energy and Heat: Measuring Heat Energy

The video tutorial explores the concept of heat energy by comparing a cup of cocoa and a glass of ice water. It explains that the cocoa gives off more heat energy, which can be felt by touch. To measure this more accurately, a thermometer is introduced as a tool to determine temperature differences. The video demonstrates how the thermometer readings show that the cocoa has a higher temperature, indicating more heat energy than the ice water.
