Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Temperature   The measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles in an object  
🗑
Three common scales   Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin  
🗑
Fahrenheit scale   The most commonly temperature scale used in the U.S.  
🗑
Celsius scale   Most commonly used scale  
🗑
Kelvin scale   Most commonly used scale for Physical science  
🗑
Heat   Is thermal energy moving from a warmer object to a cooler object  
🗑
Specific heat   A material with a high specific heat can absorb a great deal of thermal energy without a great change in temperature  
🗑
Change in energy =   Mass x Specific heat x Change in temperature  
🗑
Heat is transferred by   Conduction, convection, and radiation  
🗑
Conduction   heat is transferred from one particle of matter to another without the movement of matter itself  
🗑
Convection   Transfers heat within a fluid by the movement of currents  
🗑
Radiation   Is the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves  
🗑
If two objects have different temperature,   Heat will flow from the warmer object to the colder one  
🗑
Conductor   A material that conducts heat well  
🗑
Insulator   A material that doesn't conduct heat well  
🗑
States   Solid, Liquid, and Gas  
🗑
Change of State   The physical change from one state of matter to another  
🗑
Matter can change rom one state to another when   Thermal energy is absorbed or released  
🗑
Melting   The change of state when a solid goes to a liquid  
🗑
Freezing   The change of state from a liquid to a solid  
🗑
Evaporation   If vaporization takes place at the surface of a liquid  
🗑
Boiling   Vaporization takes place at the bottom of a liquid  
🗑
Condensation   A change from the gas state to the liquid state  
🗑
Thermal expansion   The expanding of matter when it is heated  
🗑
As the thermal energy of matter increases,   Its particles spread out and the substance expands  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
