  • Introduction : importance of temperature for life and humans; brief history of the understanding of temperature
  • Temperature in practice: (avoid theory here)
    • Types of temperature: perceived vs real, typical values, macroscopic vs microscopic, temperature of light, negative temperature
    • Units of measure
    • Temperature in the Universe: temperature changes since the big bang
    • Temperature in everyday life: common measuring devices; importance for life
    • Temperature in industry: importance in chemical processes; sample processes with very low or high temperature
    • Temperature in science: precise measuring devices; role in many scientific theories
  • Temperature theory: discuss thermodynamics, why temperature cannot go below 0...
    • Basic concepts
      • why temperature cannot go below zero under a basic definition
    • Advanced concepts
      • why temperature can go below zero under a more rigorous definition
  • History: explain how the concept of temperature evolved over time
