100

As the temperature of a substance increases, the speed of its particles do what

Increase

100

What is the definition of heat

the transfer of thermal energy from one substance to another 

100

What is the definition of fuel 

any substance that releases energy when it burns 

100

What do you use to measure temperature

Thermometer 

200

What is 'Potential Energy' 

Stored energy, the energy that an object or substance has because of its position or condition 


ex. roller coaster at the top of the track 

200

When a substance is heated it gains what

Thermal Energy 

200

What are the 3 ways that heat is transferred

Conduction, Convection, and Radiation 

200

What are fossil fuels 

formed when the remains of plants and animals were buried during the Flood 

200

When most substances are heated they ____

Expand 

300

What is it 'kinetic energy' 

energy that an object or substance has because of its motion 

300

What is thermal energy

the particles in a substance moving faster and occupying a larger space

300

What does conduction mean and what are conductors and insulators

Heat transfer that occurs when particles bump into each other but do not change location 

ex. cooking on a stovetop 

300

What is a renewable and nonrenewable resource and give an example of both 

Renewable resource can be replaced, ex. coal, crude oil, natural gas

Nonrenewable resources are no longer forming today, ex. wood

300

As space shuttles reenter the earth's atmosphere, what causes the extreme temperatures

Friction 

400

What is 'thermal energy'

the total kinetic energy of the particles in a substance 

400

What is an example of something allowing space for thermal energy to occur

A bridge, a sidewalk crack, or a highway 

400

What does convection mean 

is the heat transfer that occurs when particles carry thermal energy as they move from one place to another 

ex. boiling water 

400

Waterproof glass cloth and ceramic tiles control heat on what

Space shuttles 

400

What is the definition of temperature 

the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance 

500

What are the 5 different types of energy

Mechanical 

Electrical 

Light 

Thermal

500
How do you measure thermal energy
A calorie (cal) 
500

What does radiation mean 

heat transfer that occurs when there are no particles to carry the energy 

500
