100

This cup feature prevents matter loss in the cup system.

What is: The Lid?

100

Hot particles travel:

What is: fast?

100

The transfer of energy, either heat or electricity, through direct contact between matter or particles of matter.

What is: conduction?

100

This is a representation of the average kinetic energy of particles in a system.

What is: temperature?

100

This is a form of non-matter that can transfer energy into our cup system.

What is: light (or heat)?

200

This feature prevents energy from being transferred into the cup by allowing less particle interactions.

What is: Double walls?

200

When a particle interacts with another particle, this is going to happen.

What is: one will slow down, one will speed up.

200

The process of heat transfer through the movement of a fluid (like air or water), where warmer parts rise and cooler parts sink.

What is: convection?

200

Not all particles in a sample have the same amount of this.

What is: kinetic energy?
200

This cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred.

What is energy?

300

This feature changes the amount of light that is absorbed by the cup.

What is: tint?

300

Liquids, solids, and gases are all made up of these.

What are: particles?

300

The transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves, meaning it travels without direct contact between objects.

What is: radiation?

300

Particles in a solid do this.

What is: vibrate back and forth?

300

This has mass and takes up space.

What is: matter?

400

This feature changes the properties of the cup and the amount of energy it can transfer.

What is: the material?

400

If you add particles to a sample, this will go up.

What is: the total KE?

400

The liquid water that leaves a cup because it gains enough energy to turn into water vapor.

What is: evaporation?

400

Kinetic energy is a representation of this.

What is: the speed of the particle?

400

This is Mr. Hetcher's favorite christmas movie.

What is: Elf?

500

This feature offers an exit for matter in the cup system.

What is: the straw?

500

Particles in a gas would be this.

What is: far apart?

500

The water vapor that sticks to the side of a cup that is warming up; moisture in the air that loses energy when it collides with the cup.

What is: condensation?

500

If you add particles to a sample, this will go up.

What is: the total KE?

500

This is the process by which we cool our bodies down through sweat.

What is: evaporative cooling?
