A difficult-to-grasp concept, the fact that even cold objects contain heat energy, is the focus of this hot little video clip! Bill Nye tells physical science learners that heat is, by definition, the motion of molecules. He compares the heat in a lighted match to the heat in a swan ice sculpture. Embed this into a presentation on the forms of energy to make thermal energy clear.
