When heat decreases, particles move slower and get ________ together

Closer

100

The change of state when a solid turns into a liquid

Melting 

100

This measures how fast particles in a substance are moving. 

Temperature 

100

This type of energy comes from the movement or vibration of particles and is felt as heat.

Thermal energy

What is the Particle Model of Matter?


This model tells us that all matter is made up of tiny particles that are always moving, and that adding heat makes them move faster

300

What is evaporation/ vaporization? 

The change of state when a liquid turns into a gas because heat is added.

If a swimming pool and a pot of water have the same temperature, which one has more heat?

the swimming pool, because it has more particles = more heat 

300

Sound energy is also known as this type of energy because it involves movement

Kinetic energy

Why does a gas fill an entire container while a solid keeps its shape

Gas particles move much faster and have very large spaces between them, allowing them to spread out and fill the container, while solid particles are tightly packed and only vibrate

500

Explain why heating a solid can make it melt using the Particle Model

Adding heat makes the solid’s particles move faster and spread farther apart until they can slide past each other like a liquid

500

Explain why temperature and heat are NOT the same thing

Temperature measures particle speed, while heat is the total energy of all moving particles in a substance

A solar panel turns one form of energy into another. Identify both forms

Light energy into electrical energy
