Insulator Material that don't allow heat energy to pass through them.
Conduction Is the transfer of heat through a solid material by direct contact of particles.
Convection Is the transfer of heat in a fluid (a gas or a liquid) caused when hotter, less dense fluids rise and cooler, more dense fluids sink.
Radiation Is the transfer of heat through empty space by invisible electromagnetic rays.
Temperature Measures the average kinetic energy of the particles of an object or substance.
Heat The flow of energy from warmer places to the cooler places due to differences in temperature.
Kinetic Energy The energy of an object because of motion.
Thermal Equilibrium Happens when heat flows from a higher temperature object to a lower temperature object until the two objects have an equal temperature.
