Temperature is the measure of how hot or cold things are. Students can perceive large differences in temperature and are exposed everyday to wide ranges in the temperature of objects, for example, cold drinks and hot showers. However our perception of temperature is affected by an immediately prior experience, for example the bedroom feels cold if you have been seated in front of a fire.
