Galileo's early air thermometer lacked this measurement tool.
What is a scale?
100
The measure of the something's ability to do work or cause a change.
What is energy?
100
An increase in volume.
What is expansion?
100
Material that heats up slowly, but keeps it's heat for a long period of time is said to have this.
What is a high heat capacity?
100
Energy always moves from...
What is a high energy source to a low energy source?
200
The two fixed temperatures that Anders Celsius chose to use when calibrating a thermometer.
What are freezing water (0 degrees Celsius) and boiling water (100 degrees Celsius)?
200
Temperature is not just how hot or cold something is. It actually indicates this.
What is the average speed of particle motion in a substance?
200
A decrease in volume.
What is contraction?
200
Evaporation requires this to occur.
What is an addition of energy (or heat)?
200
The transfer of energy without any movement of matter.
What is radiation?
300
This measuring device consists of two different metals, with different expansion & contraction rates, joined firmly together.
What is a bimetallic strip?
300
This type of energy is associated with heat.
What is thermal energy?
300
This state of matter has no fixed shape or size, thus making it difficult to observe when they are expanding or contracting.
What is a gas?
300
This phenomenon is responsible for joggers feeling cold as their clothes dry out after getting soaked.
What is evaporative cooling?
300
The transfer of energy that occurs when a pan of brownies sits on an oven rack.
What is conduction?
400
The temperature in degrees Celsius of absolute zero.
What is -273.15 degrees Celsius?
400
As you use a hand mixer to stir water, this is happening to the particles.
What is the particles are speeding up, thus causing an increase in temperature?
400
These states of matter are not easily compressed.
What are solids and liquids?
400
The changes of state that require energy to be removed.
What are freezing (solidification), condensation & sublimation (gas to solid)?
400
This type of energy transfer is partially responsible for the movement of Earth's tectonic plates.
What is convection?
500
This type of measuring device is often used to identify air leaks around doors and windows of a building.
What is the infrared thermogram?
500
The four basic principles of the Particle Model of Matter.
What are all substances are made up of matter, particles are always in motion, particles have spaces between them, and the motion of the particles increases as the temperature increases.
500
The forth state of matter, which only exists on Earth under extreme conditions.
What is plasma?
500
Water is unique due to this phenomenon that occurs during solidification.
What is it expands as it freezes?
500
The five common features of all energy transfer systems.
What is an energy source, the direction of transfer, energy transformations, waste heat and a control system?
