Heat Energy
Measurement of how fast molecules move.
What is heat energy?
The total amount of area that the surface of an object occupies.
Material that blocks heat energy from moving.
What is an insulator?
The part of the water cycle where water returns to Earth by falling from a cloud.
What is precipitation?
Average weather patterns over a long period of time.
What is climate?
Two types of scales we use to measure heat energy.
What are degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit?
What is Cup A?
Material that lets heat energy move.
What is a conductor?
The part of the water cycle where liquid gathers in lakes, oceans, rivers, etc.
What is collection?
This characteristic of weather describes water falling from clouds in different states.
What is precipitation?
The speed of molecules when something is very hot.
What is fast?
Select the cup that water will evaporate out of slowest: Cup A which is 3 inches wide or Cup B which is 8 inches wide.
What is Cup B?
Select the better insulator: styrofoam that lets only a little heat escape or aluminum that lets a lot of heat escape.
What is styrofoam?
The part of the water cycle where clouds form by gas cooling to liquid.
What is condensation?
This characteristic of weather describes how fast air moves.
What is wind speed?
What is slows down or decreases?
True or False: wider containers have smaller surface areas.
What is false?
Select the better insulator: plastic that lets water change 5 degrees Fahrenheit or aluminum that lets water change 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is plastic?
The part of the water cycle where water changes from liquid to gas and rises into the air.
What is evaporation?
This characteristic of weather describes how hot or cold it is.
What is temperature?
This happens to the heat energy of molecules as the temperature increases.
What is increase?
What is true?
Select the better conductor: plastic that allows water to change 4 degrees Celsius or styrofoam that allows water to change 1 degree Celsius.
What is plastic?
What are clouds and freezing temperatures?
This characteristic of weather describes how many clouds are in the sky.
What is cloud coverage?
