What are the three methods of heat transfer?

What is Conduction, Convection, Radiation

100

What is Thermal Energy?

What is the total kinetic energy of all particles in an object.

100

what is heat?

What is the transfer of thermal energy from warmer to cooler areas.

100

What is an example of kinetic energy?

What is a moving car, a flying bird, a running child, or falling water. Will accept any movement examples. 

100

Name the States of Matter.

What is Solid, Liquid, Gas, if added Plasma then add 20 extra points

200

what is the Definition of  Convection?

What is transfer of energy through the movement of liquids or gases

200

is heat the same as temperature?

What is No, heat is energy transfer, temperature is average kinetic energy.

200

What is Equilibrium?

What is objects in contact will eventually reach the same temperature. Balanced

200

 An object at rest has kinetic energy.

What is false

200

Which phase change changes matter from gas to liquid?

What is Condensation


300

Example of Convection?

What is Lava lamps, hot air balloons, ocean currents. Will accept other correct answers

300

What happens to particles when they get colder?

 What is they move slower and have less kinetic energy.

300

what is Thermal Energy?

What is the total kinetic energy of all particles in an object or system.

300

Define Kinetic energy

What is energy of motion

300

How do the molecules behave in a gas?

What is move fast, collide, and float freely.

400

Give two examples of Radiation? 

What is Feeling warmth from a fire, getting a sunburn. Will accept other correct answers

400

What is the difference between thermal energy and temperature?

What is thermal energy is the total energy of particles, while temperature is the average kinetic energy of particles.

400

Define Temperature

What is the average kinetic energy of molecules and atoms

400

As a ball falls, potential energy converts into __________ energy.

what is kinetic

400

How does matter usually change states?

What is add or remove heat

500

Why does a metal spoon in hot soup get hot?

What is heat is transferred from the soup to the spoon. Will also accept conduction. 

500

How does particle motion affect thermal energy?

What is Faster-moving particles mean higher thermal energy and higher temperature.

500

What does potential energy mean?

What is stored energy/energy of resting object.

500

How are Temperature and Kinetic Energy related?

What is temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of particles; faster particles mean higher temperature.
