Conductors & Insulators
3 Types of Heat Energy Transfer
Change of State of Matter
Steps of the Scientific Method
Newton's Laws of Motion
100
A material or an object that conducts heat, electricity, light, or sound.
What is a Conductor?
100
Conduction
What is the 1st type of heat and energy transfer?
100
Physical substance in general, as distinct from mind and spirit that which occupies space and possesses rest mass, especially as distinct from energy.
What is Matter?
100
To make an Objective Observation.
What is the first step to the Scientific Method?
200
A thing or substance used for insulation.
What is an Insulator?
200
Convection
What is the 2nd type of heat and energy transfer?
200
The physical process where matter moves from one state to another.
What is the Change of State?
200
Formulate a hypothesis.
What is the second step to the Scientific Method?
200
Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.
What is Newton's first law?
300
Insulators oppose electrical current and make poor conductors; so all metals have high conductivity and are good conductors, while rubber, plastic, ceramics and glass have low conductivity, making them the best insulators.
?What is an example of an Insulator
300
Radiation
What is the 3rd type of heat and energy transfer?
300
The state or phase of a given set of matter can change depending on pressure and temperature conditions.
What is the Change of State of Matter?
300
Test the hypothesis.
What is the thirst step to the Scientific Method?
300
Newton's second law of motion; the acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
What is Newton's second law?
400
Conductors conduct electrical current very easily because of their free electrons; so copper, steel, gold, aluminum, and brass are good conductors.
What is an example of Conductors?
400
Conduction and Convection involve particles.
What does Convection and Conduction involve?
400
The state or phase of a given set of matter can change depending on pressure and temperature conditions, transitioning to other phases as these conditions change to favor their existence.
How is the Change of State of Matter used?
400
Establish a theory based on repeated verification of the results.
What is the forth step to the Scientific Method?
400
A force is a push or a pull that acts upon an object as a results of its interaction with another object; these two forces are called action and reaction forces
What is Newton's third law of motion?
500
Insulators are used to protect us from the dangerous effects of electricity flowing through conductors. Good electrical conductors are also good heat conductors because both forms of energy rely on free electrons to transfer through the material.
How do we use Conductors & Insulators in every-day life?
500
Radiation involves electromagnetic waves. Heat is thermal energy. It can be transferred from one place to another.
What does Radiation involve? And what is the heat that is used?
500
Going through a phase. Adding energy to matter causes a physical change matter moves from one state to another.
Why is the Change of State of Matter used?
500
The scientific method is a process for experimentation that is used to explore observations and answer questions. Even though we show the scientific method as a series of steps, scientist might miss a something and make their own mistake.
Why do we use the Scientific Method?
500
If you use the same force to push a truck and push a car, the car will have more acceleration than the truck, because the car has less mass.
How do we use Newton's Laws of Motion?
