| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| what is matter? | matter is Anything that has volume and mass. |
| What are some states of matter? | solid, liquid,and gas also referred to as phases |
| what is conduction? | conduction is a Transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solids, liquids, and gases when two substances of different temperatures touch |
| conducter | A substance that allows the flow of electrical charge or transfers thermal energy through matter |
| what is convection | convection is Heat transfer caused by the rising of hotter, less dense fluids and the falling of cooler, denser fluids |
| what is energy? | energy isThe ability of a system to do work; required for changes to happen within a system |
| what is Heat Transfer | heat transfer is The thermal energy exchange between two objects of different temperatures energy moves in a predictable pattern from warmer sites to cooler sites until all sites have reached the same temperature |
| kenetic energy | kenetic energy is Energy of motion |
| what is radiation | radiation is the transfer of energy by the movement of electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles |
| what is a system | a system is A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole |
| tempretur | Average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material; measured by a thermometer in degrees (usually degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit) |
| what is thermal energy | The total kinetic (motion) energy of the tiny particles that make up matter; the faster the particles move, the warmer the matter becomes |
