Heat travels to where it is ______
cold
the condition of having a body temperature that is dangerously cold and can cause the body to shut down
Hypothermia
a substance, such as coal or petroleum, formed over millions of years from fossilized organisms.
Fossil Fuel
The hottest place on Earth
Death Valley
the transfer of heat energy between two objects that are in direct contact
Conduction
the condition of having a body temperature that is dangerously hot
Hyperthermia
a sediment or rock that contains valuable metals (hint: Minecraft)
Ore
The three temperature scales
Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin
the transfer of heat energy by the movement of a fluid
Convection
A layer of dense fat that provides warmth by preventing heat from escaping
Blubber
water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it
Condensation
the coldest temperature possible, where matter stops moving
Absolute Zero
the transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves (think the Sun and Fire)
Radiation
Down Feathers
a mixture of a metal, such as iron, with other metals or nonmetals. (Hint: Steel = Iron + Carbon)
Alloy
The boiling points and freezing points of water on the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales
212 and 32 degrees for Fahrenheit
100 and 0 degrees for Celsius
a natural process that warms the Earth's surface by trapping heat from the sun (acting as a blanket for the Earth)
The Greenhouse Effect
a body’s ability to maintain a temperature within a certain range for survival (Hint: Think about what organisms do to change their body temperature when its too hot or too cold)
Thermoregulation
the process of covering and surrounding something with a material or substance in order to stop heat from escaping or entering
Insulation
