Heat Transfer Vocabulary

QuestionAnswer
What is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a material? This is temperature.
How does heat transfer? Heat transfers from hot to cold.
What is achieved when the temperature of materials that are in contact are the same? Thermal equilibrium is achieved.
What is the movement of thermal energy from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature? This is called heat.
What is the transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter? Conduction
Touching a hot stove or a pot warming from direct contact with a burner are examples of heat transfer through conduction
What is the thermal energy transfer through electromagnetic waves? radiation
Feeling heat waves from the sun or a fire are examples of radiation
What heat transfer is done by movement of the particles from one part of material to another? convection
The lava lamp, movement of ocean currents, and the movement of magma underneath Earth's crust are examples of convection currents
What is the change of state from a liquid to a gas vaporization
What is the change of state that occurs when a solid changes to a gas without passing through the liquid state? sublimation
What type of material allows heat to pass through quickly? thermal conductors
What type of material allows heat to pass through SLOWLY? thermal insulators
Rubber, plastic, and wood do not pass heat easily, they are all examples thermal insulators

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.
