It is the unit used to measure temperature in the U.S.
What is Fahrenheit?
200
The molecules in this state of matter are packed together very tightly, and have very little movement.
What is a solid?
200
Convection can transfer heat through one of these two things.
What are water or gas?
200
It's the least efficient type of heating a home can use due to a great deal of heat being lost to the outside.
What is a fireplace?
200
This relatively new type of energy source uses heat from the ground to heat homes and buildings.
What is geothermal energy?
300
-273 degrees is the number which indicates Absolute Zero, it's measurement is this unit of degrees.
What is Celsius.
300
An example of this phase of matter is when liquid mercury is heated to a gas.
What is evaporation?
300
The earth is warmed up using this type of energy.
What is radiation?
300
To keep a house warm in Canada in the winter, these walls should have a sufficient amount of insulation to keep the heat IN.
What are interior walls?
300
Water boils at this point on the Fahreheit scale.
What is 61 degrees Fahrenheit?
400
The number "32" occurs at an important change of phase of matter in this unit that measures temperature.
What is Fahrenheit?
400
Frost forming on a leaf at night is an example of this type of change in phase of matter.
What is deposition?
400
Thermal energy transferred through space must pass through this before it reaches earth or any other planet to heat it.
What is a vacuum?
400
This plastic is put on studs before putting drywall up, and is used to seal air both in and out of the home.
What is a vapor barrier?
400
This type of energy uses radioactive materials to produce steam, which in turn, runs a generator to produce electricity.
What is nuclear energy?
500
Absolute zero has never been attained by scientists, but they have come within this many degrees Celsius of it! Brrr!!!
What is 0.001 degree Celsius
500
When most liquids are supercooled, they do this type of motion; water does not play by this rule!
What is contract.

What is black?
500
Older form of heating large homes and buildings, using water in pipes.
What are radiators?
