| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| conduction | transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solids liquids and gases when 2 things of 2 dif temps touch |
| conductor | substance that allows the flow of electrical charges and transforms thermal emorgy |
| convection | Heat transfer caused by the rising of hotter lese dence fluids |
| energy | The ability of a system to do work required for changes to happen within a system |
| heat transfer | The thermal energy exchange between 2 objects of dif temp |
| kinetic energy | Energy of motion |

| radiation | The transfer of energy by the movement of electcromatioc waves of subtomic particles |
| system | A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole |
| tempuature | Average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material; measured by athronMITORA in degrees (usually degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit) |
| thermal energy | The total kinetic (motion) energy of tiny particles that make up matter the faster the particles move, the warmer the matter becomes |
