LIVING WITH THERMAL CHANGE
THESE ARE BUILT INTO BRIDGES TO ALLOW IT TO EXPAND AND CONTRACT DURING WEATHER CHANGES WITHOUT CRACKLING AND BUCKLING THE CONCRETE AND ASPHALT.
EXPANSION POINTS
DOGS DO THIS TO STAY COOL.
PANT
MOST MATERIALS DO THIS WHEN THEY ARE HEATED.
EXPAND
THE THREE STATES OF MATTER.
SOLID, LIQUID, AND GAS
AN INCREASE IN THE VOLUME OF A SUBSTANCE CAUSED BY HEATING.
THERMAL EXPANSION
METAL RODS INSIDE OF THE CONCRETE MUST EXPAND AND CONTRACT AT THE SAME RATE AS THE CONCRETE TO PREVENT IT FROM HAVING THESE HAPPEN. AT LEAST YOU WON'T BREAK YOUR MOTHER'S BACK.
CRACKS
THIS PEOPLE USED COLD RIVER WATER FLOWING THROUGH THEIR WALLS TO COOL THEIR BUILDINGS.
ROMANS
MOST MATERIALS DO THIS WHEN THEY ARE COOLED.
CONTRACT
THE 4th RULE OF THE PARTICLE THEORY OF MATTER STATES THAT PARTICLES MOVE FASTER WHEN THEY EXPERIENCE THIS EFFECT.
HEAT
A DECREASE IN THE VOLUME OF A SUBSTANCE CAUSED BY COOLING.
THERMAL CONTRACTION
BALLOONS DEFLATE BECAUSE AIR PARTICLES COOL DOWN, CAUSING THE PARTICLES TO OCCUPY LESS OF THIS.
SPACE
THIS PEOPLE HAD SERVANTS TENDING FIRES UNDERNEATH RAISED FLOORS IN THEIR HOMES TO STAY WARM IN THE WINTER.
ANCIENT CHINESE
1800s SCIENTISTS SUGGESTED THAT WARMTH IS CAUSED BY PARTICLES OF MATTER BEING IN WHAT STATE?
MOTION
BUMPER CARS ARE SIMILAR TO THE PARTICLE THEORY OF MATTER IN THAT THEY MOVE IN THIS MANNER.
RANDOM
IMPLOSION
TIRE
FURNACES IN CANADIAN HOMES RUN FROM THIS TYPE OF HEATING.
CENTRAL
THIS IS WHAT IS ABSORBED BY A STEAK ANY TIME YOU GRILL IT.
ENERGY
THIS STATE OF MATTER HAS THE MOST KINETIC ENERGY.
GAS
WE WATCHED A VIDEO OF THIS FOOD THERMALLY EXPANDING IN A MICROWAVE. DON'T REMEMBER? PERHAPS YOUR BRAIN GOT SCRAMBLED ALONG WITH IT.
EGG
AS THE EARTH'S TEMPERATURE RISES, THE OCEAN TEMPERATURE ALSO RISES, CAUSING THE WATER TO UNDERGO THIS PHENOMENON.
THERMAL EXPANSION
FURNACES THAT RUN ON CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEMS TYPICALLY RUN BY BURNING FUELS SUCH AS OIL AND THIS POPULAR ALTERNATIVE.
NATURAL GAS
IN CURLING, WHEN A FAST-MOVING STONE HITS A SLOW-MOVING STONE, THE TWO STONES EXPERIENCES CHANGES IN MOTION, RESULTING IN THIS PROCESS.
ENERGY TRANSFER
WHEN A SUBSTANCE IS COOLED, ITS PARTICLES SLOW DOWN, RESULTING IN LESS KINETIC ENERGY AND A DECREASE IN THIS MEASURE OF QUANTITY. MAKE SURE YOU ANSWER LOUDLY ENOUGH.
VOLUME
A SIGNIFICANT EXCEPTION TO THE RULE OF THERMAL EXPANSION IS THAT WATER EXPANDS WHEN IT EXPERIENCES THIS PROCESS.
