Which is the best description of a student applying lifelong learning skills as she investigates kinetic and thermal energy?
A) She reads that thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy and dismisses the statement, thinking it must be a mistake.
B) She memorizes how to convert temperatures among the three scales.
C) She asks her teacher to give her the answer to a problem she is working through about the connection between temperature and kinetic energy.
D) She learns that temperature is the measure of a type of kinetic energy and relates that to what she already knows about kinetic energy.
