evaporation   when a liquid turns into a gas and then takes heat energy away from the liquid  
🗑
conduction   heat moves through a solid by passing on vibrations, like when a metal gets hot  
🗑
convection current   this happens in air or in liquid, the hot particles move up and the cold particles sink down  
🗑
infrared radiation   this happens when hot things give off heat in waves, you don't have to touch it to feel warm  
🗑
conductor   lets heat pass through it easily  
🗑
insulator   does not let heat in or out easily  
🗑
more dense   lots of particles in a space  
🗑
less dense   few particles in a space  
🗑
emit   to give out  
🗑

🗑
white and shiny surfaces   bad at taking heat in and giving it out  
🗑
absorb   to take in heat  
🗑
solid   particles are packed very close together and vibrate  
🗑
liquid   particles are touching but can move about and flow over each other easily  
🗑
gas   particles are very spread out and move around very quickly  
🗑
kinetic energy   movement energy  
🗑
thermometer   the piece of equipment that we measure temperature with  
🗑
contract   to take up less space  
🗑
expand   to take up more space  
🗑
thermal   another word for heat  
🗑
fluid   liquid or a gas  
🗑
cavity wall insulation   is put in between the gaps in walls of houses to keep the house warm in winter and cool in summer  
🗑
U-value   is how quickly parts of a building loose heat  
🗑
Solar panels   absorb heat (infrared radiation) from the Sun to warm up water  
🗑
mass   is measured in kilograms (kg)  
🗑
