100

Another word for Heat. Means heat energy.

Thermal Energy

100

Made of two different metals joined together. The uneven heating of the metals acts as a control. They are used in air conditioners, furnaces, and fridges.

Bimetallic Strip

100

Tempurature scale used in the US

Fahrenheit 

100

How many points does the particle model of matter have? 

4

200

Mechanical or electrical devices that are used for measuring temperature.

Thermometer

200

the material that is affected by changes in some feature of the environment.

Sensor

200

Name two ways humans use thermal energy in their daily lives. 

Heating homes, stoves, ovens, hot tubs

200

What are the 3 states of matter?

Solid, Liquid and Gas

300

Temperature scale used in Canada.

Celsius Scale

300

Produced by the sensor to tell information about the temperature.

Signal

300

What does infrared imagery show?

It shows the temperature of an object with colour. 

300

The average speed of many
particles is indicated by their...

Temperature

400
The temperature at which there is no thermal energy. 


*For a bonus 100pts, what is the exact degree?

Absolute Zero or -273degress celcius 

400

The pointer or mechanism that uses the signal

Responder

400
Name 2 of the 4 thermometers we have learned about. 

Bimetallic Strip, Thermocouple, Recording Thermometer and Infrared Thermogram. 

400

This can not be created or destroyed. 

Energy

500

Temperature scale used for science

Kelvin

500

Made of two different metals that are twisted together. When heated a small electrical current is generated. They are used in switches, and can measure high temperatures but not low ones.

Thermocouple

500

How does pressure affect the boiling point of water.

The more pressure the higher the boiling point. On mount Everest where it is low pressure, water boils at 60degrees celcius.

List the 2 of the 4 points of the particle model of matter

The four main points of the model are:
1. All substances are made of tiny particles too small to be seen.
2. The particles are always in motion-vibrating, rotating, and in
liquids and gases moving from place to place.
3. The particles always have space between them
4. The motion of particles increases as temperature increases, and
the motion decreases as temperature decreases
