Shows several models to visualize both bulk motion and the random motion of molecules. Presents an inter-connection between both types of motion as energy of bulk motion turns to thermal energy of random motion. Demonstrates random motion and how such motion can average out to a smooth effect; presents a model of thermal conduction; and uses a dry ice disc and small steel balls, in which bulk mechanical energy of the disc is converted to "thermal" energy of random motion of the balls. Develops a temperature scale by immersing canisters of two gases in baths of various temperatures. Demonstrations by Jerrold R. Zacherias, MIT.
