The first widely used temperature scale. Water at sea level boils at 212 F and freezes at 32 F. This scale was invented by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit
What is the fahrenheit scale
100
materials keep a specific shape and size
What is a solid
100
Is the change from the solid state to the liquid state
What is melting
200
The average energy of the particles of a substance
What is temperature
200
The freezing point of water
What is 0 C
200
The most common scale for measuring temperature; water at sea level boils at 100 C and freezes at 0 C. This scale was invented by Anders Celsius.
What is the Celsius scale
200
A material has a specific size or volume but not a specific shape
What is a liquid
200
Is the change from the liquid state to the solid state
What is freezing
300
The energy of movement
What is kinetic energy
300
Boiling point of water
What is 100 C
300
A scale used for measuring temperatures in scientific experiments; pure water freezes at 237 K and boils at 373 K; the coldest possible temperature ( also known as absolute zero ) is 0 K. This scale was invented by William Thomson Kelvin
What is the Kelvin scale
300
Has no particular size or shape, and can be compressed. This is sometimes known as a vapour
What is a gas
300
Is the change from the liquid state to the gaseous state
What is evaporation
400
When the particles are heated, they gain energy, move faster, spread out and take up more space thereby increasing their volume
What is expansion
400
Human body temperature
What is 37 C
400
This object is made of two different types of metals that expand by different amounts when heated
What is a bimetallic strip
400
These are what clouds are made up of
What is droplets of water
400
Is the change from the solid state to the gaseous state
What is condensation
500
When the particles are cooled, they loose energy, move slower, move closer together and take up more space thereby decreasing their volume
What is contraction
500
Body temperature of a bungie bird
What is 15 000 000 C
500
Used to measure temperature; these are made up of two different types of metal wires that are connected at both ends; temperature differences between the ends cause an electric current to travel along the wires
What is a thermocouple
500
This is the only substance that is naturally found in all 3 states at the same time on earth
What is water
500
Is the change from the solid state to the gaseous state
