(44 cards)
which state of mater moves the moves freely
gas
What are molecules?
Everything that takes up room it made up of molecules
What is temperature
the amount of heat
Conversation of energy
The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can only be changed from one form to another or transferred from one object to another.
Increase
to add more things
Decrease
to remove things
Experimental group
The group that is changed
Control group
The group that is not changed
Kinetic energy
study of movement
Dependant variable
The variable that is measured
Independant variable
The variable that is changed
constant
stays the same
experimental group
something changes
control group
nothing changes
Which state of matter is tea
liquid
what is conduction
Heat traveling directly to something else
Convection
Heat moving by fluids. Hot molecules move around ex - air currents
Radiation
Heat moving by waves. Can move through the vacuum of space
what is a conductor
a material that can conduct heat
True or false: an insulator traps heat
False
If i were to go to the public pool and the part of me that wasn’t in the pool got hot what form of heat transfer is that
Radiation
My teacher went to school in her car and the high was 115f and she left her car in the sun she touched the car and burned her elf what type of thermal energy transfer is this
conduction
my mom went to a grocery store and she saw a big fan why is the father
the fan is there for the purpose of convection
Definition of thermal energy transfer radiation
heat moving through light waves
