| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solids, liquids, and gases when two substances of different temperatures touch. | Conduction |
| What is a substance that allows the flow of electrical or transfers thermal energy through matter. | A conductor |
| What is the heat transfer caused by the rising of hotter, less dense fluids and the falling of cooler, denser fluids. | Convection |
| What is the ability of a system to do work: required for changes to happen within a system. | Energy |
| What is 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. (usually degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit) | Temperature |
| The total kinetic (motion) energy of the tiny particles that make up matter the faster the particles move, the warmer the matter becomes. | Thermal energy |
