Biomass Material in growing or dead plants.
Boiling point the temperature at which a liquid boils.
Calorie amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius.
Calorimeter a device that measures changes in thermal energy
Celsius scale the temperature scale on which zero and 100 are the temperatures at which water freezes and boils.

Chemical Change one or more substances break apart or combine to form a new substance

Conductor a material that easily transfers heat between its particles.
Contraction when a substance loses heat energy, the molecules slow down, and the substance contracts to become smaller in size
Convection flow of energy/transfer of that that occurs when warm liquid or gas rises; particles move taking their heat with them
