100

This can be found by adding all of the numbers to get a total and then dividing by the number of numbers that were added.

What is Average?

100

This is the direction energy transfers in

What is hot to cold?

100

A can of soda has been in a hot car all day.  The temperature of the can of soda has increased, so this is what has happened to the molecules in the can of soda.

What is move faster?

100

Thermal Energy

1                   2                  3

What is 6?

100

The name of Mr. Hwang's cat

Who is Momo?

200

This is the type of energy that an object has because it is moving.

What is Kinetic Energy?

200

When objects get colder, they move _______.

What is slower?

200

When water freezes in a freezer, the temperature has decreased.  This is what has happened to the energy of the molecules of water.

What is "They have decreased"?

200

Temperature

1                            2                          3

What is 2?

200

Water is an example of this because is has 2 parts Hydrogen and 1 part Oxygen (it is made of atoms joined together).

What is a molecule?

300

The average kinetic energy of an object

What is temperature?

300

Energy is not created or destroyed.  Instead, it does this.

What is transfer?

300

Object A has 3 times more mass than Object B. Object A and B are the same temperature. Object C is colder than Object B and A. This object will increase the equilibrium temperature of Object C more when it they touch.

What is Object A?

300

Thermal Energy

2        7        4         8

What is 21? 

300

When two objects have the same temperature of substance, but one of the objects is larger, it is said to have more of this type of energy.

What is total kinetic energy/thermal energy?

400

This is when something stays mostly the same over time.

What is stability?

400

This is means the amount of stuff or molecules something has. The thermal energy increases as this increases.

What is mass?

400

A hot glass of water (Container A) and a cold glass of water (Container B) were placed together.  This is what happened to the temperature of each container to reach equilibrium.

What is "Container A got colder (or decreased temperature) and Container B got warmer (or increased temperature)"?

400

Temperature

What is 5?

400

This is how molecules are able to transfer energy from one object to another.

What is collision/touching? (either answer or close to is accepted)

500

This is the balanced state in which a system is stable, such as when two or more samples are at the same temperature.

What is equilibrium?

500

At _______, the temperature is the thermal energy evenly divided by the number of molecules in the system.

What is equilibrium?

500

You have a bowl of soup and a cup of soup? They are both the same temperature. You bring both of them to school. Which one will get cold quicker?

What is the cup of soup?

500

Object A has a Thermal energy of 10 and has 1 molecule. Object B has a Thermal energy of 15 and has 4 molecules. This is the temperature of the entire system (both molecules) at equilibrium?

What is 5?

500

This is how to calculate the average kinetic energy of a substance.
