The name of energy in motion.
What is kinetic energy?
Particles are packed closely and it has a specific shape and volume.
What is a solid?
The transfer of thermal energy from direct contact.
What is conduction?
When energy is added to a liquid, this phase change occurs.
What is evaporation?
What is plastic?
If you __________ (add or remove?) thermal energy, the kinetic energy will decrease.
An example of this is when your feet touch hot sand at the beach.
What is conduction?
Melting occurs when energy is added to this state of matter.
What is solid?
A material that minimizes heat transfer.
What is an insulator?
The total amount of kinetic energy in matter.
What is thermal energy?
Has no definite shape or volume.
What is a gas?
Condensation is a change from this state of matter into a liquid.
What is gas?
Aluminum and steel are this ___________(conductor or insulator).
What are conductors?
Heat moves from ______________ to ___________ objects.
What is warmer, cooler
`Particles in a _______ are very dense and constantly vibrating in place.
What is a solid?
When a liquid changes to a solid, these 2 things happen to the particles.(slow down/speed up, move apart/move closer).
What is slow down and move closer?
When we wear a coat at the bus stop, it helps keep heat inside and doesn't allow cold inside the jacket because it is this.
What is an insulator?
The average kinetic energy of an object.
What is temperature?
This state of matter has the most kinetic energy.
What is gas?
Your back feels warm at courtyard because of this.
When this phase change occurs, particles are least able to move.
What is freezing?
Metal is used for frying pands because it is this.
