How is the temperature of a substance related to the energy of movement of the particles in the substance?

Not really sure I understand the question, but as a substance cools, particles move faster. As a substance heats up, particles move slowly. Sorry if that wasn't your question...
Whoa there, as temperature heats up, particles move more quickly, and as temperature cools down, particles move more slowly.
I don't know where you learned that from, go check your facts again.
Evidence that this is true: Metal train tracks have little gaps in them, because they expand as they heat in summertime. The gaps prevent the tracks from curving and being unstable.
