QuestionAnswer
Heat Form of energy that can be transmitted from one place to another through conduction, convection, or radiation – condition of being hot
Physical Change Change that occurs in matter and can be returned to its original condition
Expansion The increase in volume of matter that occurs when matter is heated
Contraction The decrease in volume of matter due to the lack of heat
Temperature The measurement of how hot an object or substance is
Conduction Transmission of heat by transferring energy from one particle to another
Convection Transfer of heat from one place to another by the circulation of currents of heated particles of a gas or liquid
Radiation Energy (heat) given off by electromagnetic waves (waves we can’t see)
Phase Change The changing from a solid to a liquid to a gas or a gas to liquid to solid through change in energy
Solid Has definite volume and shape, and its particles are closely packed and tight with little energy
Liquid Has definite volume and no definite shape, particles are not as closely packed and tight as solids – has some energy
Gas No definite shape or volume, particles a loosely packed and moving with a lot of energy
Melting Changing from a solid to a liquid- Energy increase
Freezing Changing from a liquid to a solid – Energy decrease
Boiling Changing from a liquid to a gas at the substance’s boiling point- Energy increase
Evaporation Changing from a liquid to a gas from the surface of a liquid
Condensation Changing from a gas to a liquid – Energy decrease
Sublimation Changing from a solid to a gas skipping the liquid phase
Freezing/Melting Points 0 degrees Celsius (Water)- freezing Greater than 0 degrees - melts Less than 0 degrees - freezes
Boiling Point Water – 100 degrees Celsius The point at which a liquid turns into a gas
Conservation on Mass No matter is gained or lost when a substance undergoes a phase change

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
