Question
Answer
What is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a material?   This is temperature.  
🗑
How does heat transfer?   Heat transfers from hot to cold.  
🗑
What is achieved when the temperature of materials that are in contact are the same?   Thermal equilibrium is achieved.  
🗑
What is the movement of thermal energy from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature?   This is called heat.  
🗑
What is the transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter?   Conduction  
🗑
Touching a hot stove or a pot warming from direct contact with a burner are examples of heat transfer through   conduction  
🗑
What is the thermal energy transfer through electromagnetic waves?   radiation  
🗑
Feeling heat waves from the sun or a fire are examples of   radiation  
🗑
What heat transfer is done by movement of the particles from one part of material to another?   convection  
🗑
The lava lamp, movement of ocean currents, and the movement of magma underneath Earth's crust are examples of   convection currents  
🗑
What is the change of state from a liquid to a gas   vaporization  
🗑
What is the change of state that occurs when a solid changes to a gas without passing through the liquid state?   sublimation  
🗑
What type of material allows heat to pass through quickly?   thermal conductors  
🗑
What type of material allows heat to pass through SLOWLY?   thermal insulators  
🗑
Rubber, plastic, and wood do not pass heat easily, they are all examples   thermal insulators  
🗑
Metals like aluminum and copper allow heat to pass through them easily, they are examples of   thermal conductors  
🗑


   

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.
