| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Conduction | Transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solids, liquids, and gases when two substances don't connect |
| Conductor | A substance that allows the flow of electrical change |
| Convection | Heat transfer caused by the rising of hotter, less dense fluids and the falling of cooler, denser fluids. |
| Energy | The ability of a system to Do work: required for changes to happen within the system. |
| Heat Transfer | The thermal energy exchange between two objects of different temperatures |
| Kinetic Energy | energy of motion |
| Matter | Anything that has volume and mass |
| States of Matter | Distinct forms of matter known in everyday experience: solid, and gas: also referred to as phases |
| Radiation | The transfer of energy by the movement of electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles |
| System | A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent Elements forming a complex whole. |
| Temperature | Average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material; measured by a thermometer in degrees. (usually degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit) |
| Thermal Energy | The total kinetic (motion) energy of the particles that make up matter the faster the particles move, the warmer the matter becomes |
