This is the version H20 that is solid

What is ICE.
200
This state of matter allows particles to slip and slide past one another and take the shape of their container.
What is LIQUID.
300
General room temperature is approximately this (in Kelvins) 
What is 293
300
This man created the first air thermometer. 
Who is GALILEO?
300

This is another word for the transfer of thermal energy from one substance to another

What is heat

300

What are the three point to the particle model of matter?

1. All matter is made up of particles

2. Particles are in constant motion

3. Particles always have spaces between them

What is -273.15oC.

400
Similar to a seismograph, this device records the temperature on a rotating drum using a pen attached to a Bimetallic Strip.
What is a recording thermometer or thermograph. 
400

This measurement is a measure of the TOTAL amount of energy found in a substance. 

What is THERMAL ENERGY.

400

What temperature scale has the freezing/melting point of pure water as 0. 

What is Celsius.

400

The motion of the particles decreases when the temperature _____________.  

What is decreases.
500

Which temperature scale starts at absolute zero?

What is the Kelvin Scale?

500

This device uses dissimilar metals to create an electric current when heat is present. 

What is a THERMOCOUPLE?

500

THIS is the measure of something's ability to do work or cause changes.  

What is ENERGY?

500

What two states of matter have no fixed shape?

What are liquids & gases. 

500

How can a large cold object (like an iceberg) have a high total thermal energy?

Thermal energy measures the total energy of all the particles; because there are so many particles it can still have a lot of thermal energy (even though each particle has very little energy).
