1. The three commons temperature scales are Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin.
2. Temperature is the measure of how much thermal energy something has and heat is what atoms give off when they bounce around and produce thermal energy.
3. Well, the specific heat of something is the amount of heat per unit of mass it takes to raise the temperature 1 degree C so if something has a high specific heat then it means that it takes more heat to raise the temperature of one unit of mass by 1 degree C.
4. Because the thermal energy from your hand causes the ice cube's atoms to start moving faster. So fast that they can stay a solid anymore so it becomes water.
5. Because some things are denser than others and have more mass so therefore they have a higher specific heat.
