Heat Energy/Transfer
6th Grade NC Science
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Conduction | a process where heat or electricity directly passes through another substance |
| Convection | the movement caused by hotter, less dense material rising and cooler, more dense material sinking |
| Radiation | heat, light, or electrical energy transmitted as waves |
| Equilibrium | a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced |
| Combustion | rapid chemical combination of a substance with oxygen, involving the production of heat and light |
| Current | a flow of a substance, like heat or electricity or energy |
| Wave | a periodic disturbance of a substance without movement, such as in the passage of energy, motion, heat, or sound |
| Solid | a stable object with a specific order to its condensed particles within a fixed volume |
| Liquid | a fluid with a definite volume and indefinite shape |
| Gas | a fluid with no definite volume or shape, but particles spread out unlike liquid |
| Plasma | a separation in charges (ionization), a gas that has lost its electrons |
| Freezing | the process of removing heat from a liquid the point at which all particles do not move |
| Melting | the process of adding heat to a solid to change its state to a liquid |
| Vaporization | the process of adding heat to a liquid to change its state to a gas |
| Condensation | the process of removing heat from a gas to change its state to a liquid |
| Sublimation | the process of a solid changing directly into a gas without being a liquid |
| Deposition | the process of a gas changing directly into a solid without being a liquid |
| Kinetic Energy | an energy that a body has by being in motion |
| Heat Transfer | the flow of heat due to an imbalance of temperatures |
| Heat Energy | the result of movement (kinetic energy) of particles |
| Molecule | the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction |
| Absorption | the ability to take in another substance |
| Insulator | a material that does not easily allow sound or heat to pass through |
| Conductor | a material that allows the flow of electricity, sound, or heat to pass through |
