Kinetic/Potential Energy
The movement of particles in matter. When particles move fast, we call it hot.
What is heat/thermal energy?
These are the three phases, or states, of matter.
What are solids, liquids, and gases?
The unit scientists use to measure energy.
What are Joules?
The vibration of particles in matter. Can travel through gases and liquids as a wave.
What is sound energy?
Heat always moves from this to this.
What is hot (more heat) to cold (less heat)?
Sound energy travels through matter in the form of these.
What are waves?
Energy formed when an atom splits apart or when two atoms join to form one.
What is nuclear energy?
Holding your hands up to a campfire will cause them to heat up through this method of heat transfer.
What is radiation?
Which has more heat energy: a burning match, a 100 degree hot tub, or an iceberg the size of a mountain?
What is the iceberg?
Electric/magnetic energy travelling through space as both a wave and a particle (photon).
What is light energy?
This is heat transfer that occurs when two objects are touching.
What is conduction?
These are two types of energy that reach our planet from the Sun.
What are light and heat/thermal energy?
Energy of the movement of particles in matter.
What is heat/thermal energy?
The Sun heats our atmosphere, and the hot air gets stuck as it rises and then falls as it cools in this process.
What is convection?
This is an example of how heat moves between objects.
