Difference Between Heat and Temperature (https://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-heat-and-vs-temperature/): This article points out that there are actually some differences between heat and temperature. Heat and temperature are both physical properties of a body, but heat is a form of energy and temperature is a measure of how hot the a body is. Temperature is directly proportional to heat of the body. 

Microwave Cooking (https://home.howstuffworks.com/microwave2.htm): This article uncovers the science behind one of the most outstanding inventions of the 20th century. While the microwave is in use, radio waves penetrate food and excite water and fat molecules throughout. The process can be referred to exciting and warming up molecules instead of conducting heat. 

The Science of Heat Transfer: What Is Conduction? (https://www.universetoday.com/82331/what-is-conduction/): This article touches of the differences between conduction and insulation. Conduction comes down to the transfer of heat or the transfer of an electrical charge. Both happen as a result of a substance’s ability to allow molecules to transfer energy across them. An example of a good conductor would be silver, and the opposite, an insulator would be rubber. 

Why Climates Differ (http://www.scholastic.com/browse/subarticle.jsp?id=1946): This article goes into the why behind climate differences among places who share the same latitude and equal distance from the sun. General atmospheric and oceanic circulation systems redistribute heat and moisture. Regions downwind from oceans usually have more moderate temperatures and more precipitation than do the interiors of the continents.
