What is thermal energy transfer?

What is: 

Heat moving from one object to another when there is a temperature difference 


100

How can one prove that thermal energy transfer is taking place?

What is: Thermometer, touch, smell, sight

100

Last shall be first!

Your team receives the same points as first-place plus 100 more points.

How does the process of convection work? Provide examples.

What is: Heat transfer through liquid or gas (ex: boiling water and steam)

100

 How does the process of conduction work? Provide examples

What is: When heat is moving from object to object in direct contact (ex: touching a cold window) 

200

How does the process of radiation work? Provide examples

What is: Heat moves through space in waves (ex: heat lamp & microwaves)

200

In what way is energy transfer through radiation different from convection and conduction?

What is:  It distributes heat in waves and not through solid, liquid, or gas 

200

You lose a turn.

Your team loses this turn and the previous team takes your spot.

200

 Why does thermal energy transfer always take place from warmer to cooler areas?

What is: Warmer particles will move faster and spread out compared to cooler particles because they will move apart slower

200

When does the thermal energy transfer stop?

What is: When the heat is evenly spread out (like room temperature) 

300

The movement of thermal energy from one object to another object of different temperature

What is thermal energy transfer?

300

The transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of fluids Conduction: the transfer of thermal energy when two objects at different temperatures are in contact with each other

What is convection?

Daily Double!

All teams get to wager up to their points they've earned on the next question prompt.  Answers are written on a piece of paper before the answer is given.

300

the movement of energy through space as waves; radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not rely upon any contact between the heat source and the heated object Heat: is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance

What is radiation?

300

is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance

What is temperature?

400

the process of changing from one form of energy to another

What is energy transformation?

400

a form of potential energy that is stored in the particles of matter

What is chemical energy?

400

Spin the wheel!

Spin the wheel and earn whatever you land on!

400

a beam of energy that allow us to see objects

What is light energy?

400

This is a form of mechanical energy caused by the vibration or disturbance of matter

What is sound energy?

500

a form of energy that is caused by moving electrical charges

What is electrical energy?

500

 the form of energy of position and motion

What is mechanical energy?

500

Gold Rush!

Write an arrow for the direction you want to move on and hand it to Mr. Nguyen without other teams knowing what you decided.  If no one lands on your spot, you earn the gold, but if more than one person lands on the same spot, no one earns the gold!

500

 source of heat in the sun

What is nuclear energy?

500

 produced by the movement of particles in matter

What is thermal energy?
