| States of Matter | Distinct forms of matter known in everyday experience: solid liquid gas |
| 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 tiny particles that make up matter the faster the particles move, the warmer the matter becomes |
