100

the ability of a substance to hold heat

heat capacity

100

a substance that lets heat energy (and electrical energy) move through it easily

conductor

100

a change of state from a solid directly to a gas

sublimation

100

____________ has the highest heat capacity of anything on earth, except ammonia

water

100

the fastest way to melt a cube of ____________ is to break it into tiny pieces, because this increases the ____________

ice

surface area

100
Explain how convection works in a pot of water on the stove.

- water in center hottest

- particles move quickly, turn to gas & rise

- that water is replaced by water from the sides (bottom), which is replaced by water from the sides (top), creating a circular motion


200

the energy that is transferred from matter at a higher temperature to matter at a lower temperature 

heat energy

200

any substance that does not allow heat energy (or electrical energy) to move through it easily

insulator

200

the process of changing state from a liquid to a gas

evaporation

200

train tracks are left with gaps between the rails so that when the weather changes there is room for the rails to ____________ and ____________

expand and contract

or 

contract and expand

200

we measure ____________  kinetic energy because not all of the ____________ in one substance will move at exactly the same speed.

average

particles

200

Describe different traditional First Nations and Metis shelters, in particular discussing what materials were used and why. 

wigwam - mud insulation, made of bark/hides/saplings

igloo - made of ice - available

teepee - made of hides

- all shaped so snow and water will run off

- all have heat source and insulation

300

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

temperature

300

a device that controls temperature by switching a heating system on or off

thermostat

300

a probe that uses a thermistor at its tip that is connected to a computer

computer sensor

300

the First Nations peoples used the materials that were ____________ to them.

available

300

in Plains Cree tradition, no part of the buffalo was ____________. 

wasted
300

Explain what happens to the sun's energy when it comes to earth. 

- only small amount comes to Earth

- some is absorbed in atmosphere and some is reflected back in atmosphere

- some is absorbed by land and water and some reflected back from water and land

- radiation

400

the point at which a solid changes state to a liquid

melting point

400

the point at which a liquid changes state to a gas

boiling point

400

substances that indicate the temperature of an object by changing colour

liquid crystals

400

all hot substances transfer heat by ____________

radiation

400

radiation does not require ____________

contact

400

describe the three states of matter, and explain how heat affects them using your knowledge of the particle theory

solid - particles tight, when heated the particles move faster, have more energy and eventually spread and become liquid

liquid - particles looser, when heated the particles move faster, have more energy and eventually spread and become gas

gas - particles fill a space, when heated the particles move faster, have more energy and eventually move faster and volume increases (expansion)

- particles move faster and spread apart when heat is added

500

increase the volume of a substance

expand

500

decrease the volume of a substance

contract

500

a device that measures temperature by having wires connected to a voltmeter

thermocouple thermometer

500

matter can ____________, ____________, or let heat energy pass through it with little absorption or reflection. 

absorb/reflect

or 

reflect/absorb

500

The roads in Saskatchewan are usually filled with potholes after ____________ rather than ____________.

winter

summer
