the rule that energy cannot be created or destroyed
What is law of conservation of energy
100
The average kinetic energy of the particles that make up a material.
What is Temperature
100
the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through adjoining regions, without movement of the material.
What is Conduction
100
a form of potential energy that is stored in chemical bonds between atoms
What is Chemical Energy
200
energy that an object has due to its motion
What is Kinetic Energy
200
large atoms splitting into smaller pieces and giving off a large amount of energy
What is Fission
200
The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of the particles that make up a material.
What is Thermal Energy
200
the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in the transfer of heat.
What is Convection
200
the energy of electric charges
What is Electrical Energy
300
energy an object has because of its position
What is Potential Energy
300
hydrogen combining to form helium in the middle of a star
What is Fusion
300
The movement of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object.
What is Heat
300
transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or through a fluid
What is Radiation
300
the energy of stretched or compressed objects
What is Elastic Potential Energy
400
GPE= mgh
What is Equation for Potential Energy
400
the unit used to measure the energy in food
What is Calorie
400
The amount of thermal energy required to raise the temperature of 1kg of material by 1 degree Celsius.
What is Specific Heat
400
Materials in which heat flows slowly
- Plastic, Fiberglass
What is Insulators
400
kinetic or potential energy associated with the motion or position of an object
What is Mechanical Energy
500
KE= 1/2mv(2)
What is Equation for Kinetic Energy
500
a change from one form of energy to another
What is Energy Transformation
500
A decrease in a material's volume because of a decreasing temperature.

What is Conduction
500
An increase in a materials volume when its temperature increases.
