Heat Transfer
Misc
100
The variable that is changed in a Scientific investigation.
What is the Independent Variable
100
The variable that is measured and observed to see if a change occured due to the manipulated variable.
What is the Dependent Variable
100
This is the type of graph that is used to make comparisons.
What is a bar graph
100
Transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other.
What is Conduction
100
The energy of an object due to it's motion.
What is Kinetic Energy
200
Using one or more of your senses to gather information.
What is observing
200
Explaining or interpreting the things you have observed.
What is inferring
200
Used to show a change over time.
What is a line graph
200
A material that does not easily allow thermal energy to travel through it.
What is an insulator
200
The transfer of thermal energy from a hot object to a cold.
What is Heat
300
The statement you make that identifies the Independent, Dependent and the reasoning.
What is the If, Then, Because statement
300
Can be answered by making observations and gathering evidence.
What is a Scientific Question
300
Observations made with the senses are examples of this kind of data.
What is Qualitative
300
Type of heat transfer where warmer areas rise and cooler areas sink.
What is convection
300
Has a definite volume but no definite shape.
What is a liquid
400
An analysis of the experimental results, that states whether the hypothesis was proven or disproven.
What is the Conclusion
400
The group in an experiment that does not receive any treatment from the researchers, and is then used as a comparison for the tested subjects.
What is the Control Group
400
Measurements, weights, temperatures, etc... are all examples of this.
What is a quantitative observation.
400
Examples of this would be metals, glass and water.
What is a conductor
400
Limitations put on an engineering design.
What are constraints.
500
Variables that are purposefully kept the same during an experiment.
What are the Constants
500
An Experiment where only one variable is manipulated, and all others are kept constant.
What is a Controlled Experiment
500
This is what is put on the X-axis of a graphical display.
What is the Independent Variable
500
Heat transfer that does not require a medium to travel through.
What is radiation.
500
The point at which heat transfer ceases.
What is Thermal Equilibrium
