Question
Answer
WHat is the definition of convection?   The transfer of heat energy through a liquid or gas.  
🗑
What is the definition of conduction?   The transfer of heat through direct contact.  
🗑
What is the definition of radiation?   The transfer of heat energy through the emptiness of space.  
🗑
What is the definition of heat?   Energy that is based on the temperature and the mass of an object.  
🗑
What is the definition of temperature?   The measure of how hot or cold something is.  
🗑
What is Celsius?   A temperature scale based on the freezing and boiling point of water.  
🗑
What is Kelvin?   A temperature scale based on absolute zero.  
🗑
What is Fahrenheit?   A temperature scale based on the freezing point of water at 32 degrees.  
🗑
What is a calorie?   The amount of energy needed to change the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius.  
🗑
What is the water cycle?   Evaporation-Condensation-Percipataion  
🗑
Are heat and temperature the same thing?   No  
🗑
What is an insulator?   A material that does not conduct heat well.  
🗑
What is a conductor?   A material that conducts heat well.  
🗑
What are some examples of insulators?   styrofoam cups, wood, glass, plastic, rubber, etc.  
🗑
What are some examples of conductors?   metal: including iron, copper, steel, etc., water  
🗑
What is a temperature?   The measure of how hot or cold something is. It is also the average KE of the particles in a substance.  
🗑
What is thermal energy-heat?   A transfer of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object. Heat is caused by the internal motion of molecules of matter. It depends on the total KE of the particles.  
🗑
LIQUID to a GAS   -vaporization -evaporation -boiling  
🗑
LIQUID TO A SOLID   freezing  
🗑
SOLID TO A LIQUID   melting  
🗑
GAS TO A LIQUID   condensation  
🗑
SOLID TO A GAS   sublimaton  
🗑
GAS TO A SOLID   deposition  
🗑
What is the definition of matter?   Anything that takes up space. (i.e.-almost anything)  
🗑
What are the the 3 types of heat transfer?   convection, conduction, and radiation  
🗑
What are the particles acting like in thermal energy?   They are vibrating which creates heat.  
🗑
What are the particles acting like in gas?   They are moving around very quickly and passing each other often.  
🗑
What are the particles acting like in liquid?   They are moving around quickly and sometimes pass each other.  
🗑
What are the particles acting like in a solid?   They are mostly staying in the same spot.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
