| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solids, liquids, and gases when two substances of different temperature touch | Conduction |
| A substance that allows A substances that allow the flow of electrical charge or transfers thermal energy through matter | Conductor |
| Heat transfer caused by the hotter, less dense fluids and falling of cooler, denser fluids | Convection |
| The ability of a system to do work; required for changes to happen within a system | Energy |
| The thermal energy exchange between two objects of different temperatures | Heat Transfer |
| Energy of motion | Kinetic Energy |
| Anything that has volume and mass | Matter |
| Distinct forms of matter known in everyday experience: solid, liquid, and gas; also referred to as phases | States of Matter |
| The transfer of energy by the movement of electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles | Radiation |
| A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole | System |
| Average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material; measured by a thermometer in degrees | Temperature |
