convection movement of thermal energy through currents in a fluid such as a gas or liquid
radiation movement of thermal energy in the form of waves
conductor a substance that allows thermal energy to pass into or out of it easily
insulator a substance that does not conduct heat well
specific heat the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of a substance by one Kelvin
vaporization liquid state of matter becomes a gas
evaporation liquid state of matter becomes a gas at the surface of a liquid
sublimation solid state of matter skips the liquid phase to become a gas
condensation gas state of matter looses thermal energy to become a liquid
thermal expansion as thermal energy increases, the particles of a substance spread out causing this to happen
bimetallic strips two different metals are joined together, when heated one expands faster than the other causing the piece of metal to bend in a curve

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
