SCIENCE STUDY NOTES

These are notes for our subject ''Heat in the Environment''

QuestionAnswer
What is heat? It is the transfer of energy from the particles of a warmer object to the particles of a cooler object.
How does a game of billiards/pool help to explain heat? When the fast moving white ball COLLIDES with a stationary ( non-moving ball) the white ball transfers energy to the stationary ball, the white ball slows down and the stationary ball starts to move. Similarly heat transfers to particles of that object.
What is temperature? A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.
What is thermal energy? It is the total kinetic energy and energy of attraction of all the particles of a material. Total kinetic energy + energy of attraction.
What direction does thermal energy naturally flow in? Thermal energy naturally moves form a substance with a higher temperature to a substance with a lower temperature.
Explain how CONDUCTION causes an egg to cook in a fry pan? a) Energy from the burner travels through the pan and in to the egg b) The particles of the pan collide with the particles of the egg, causing the eggs particles to move faster.
What is CONDUCTION and how is it caused? CONDUCTION is the transfer of thermal energy through a substance or between substance in contact, conduction is caused by the collision of particles. (e.g.) Cooking an Egg in a Fry Pan.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

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.
