| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Thermal Energy | The amount of kinetic energy of moving particles |
| Heat | Transfer of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object |
| Thermal Equilibrium | Two objects are at the same temperature so there is no transfer of energy |
| Thermometer | An object that measures temperature |
| Conduction | the transfer of heat or electricity through direct contact between particles of matter |
| Convection | the process where heat is transferred through the movement of a fluid (like air or water), where warmer parts rise and cooler parts sink, creating a circulating flow of heat |
| Radiation | energy that travels through space as waves or particles |
