Temperature Stuff
Do You Remember?
100
When an object's temperature is higher, its atoms or molecules have more of this
What is kinetic energy?
100
The transfer of energy by collisions between the atoms and molecules in a material is called this
What is conduction?
100
Wood, rubber and ceramic materials are examples of this type of material (poor conductor of heat)
What are insulators?
100
This is a column of warm air that is forced up as cold air around it sinks - birds use them to stay in the air without flapping their wings
What is a thermal?
100
This is the energy an object has due to its motion
What is kinetic energy?
200
This is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object
What is temperature?
200
Insulators are poor conductors of heat because of these
What are air spaces?
200
Clothes help keep us warming by doing this
What is trapping body heat?
200
Water boils at this temperature on the Fahrenheit Scale
What is 212 degrees?
200
A human's body temperature is usually around this
What is 98.6 degrees F?
300
This is the transfer of energy from one object to another due to a difference in temperature
What is heat?
300
An example of this type of heat transfer is the sun warming the earth
What is radiation?
300
This transfer happens through liquid and gases, and transfers heat when particles MOVE between objects or areas of differing temperatures
What is convection?
300
Water freezes at this point on the Celsius Scale
What is 0 degrees
300
This is a series of body changes that occur during an amphibians life cycle
What is metamorphosis?
400
On this scale, the freezing point of water = 32 degrees.
What is the Fahrenheit scale?
400
This transfers heat through liquid and gases - an example is the heating system in your home
What is convection?
400
Heat is transferred by this when you cook food
What is radiation?
400
Water boils at 100 degrees on this scale
What is Celsius?
400
The speed of this is about 300,000 km / second
What is light?
500
This is an unusual substance because it must absorb a large amount of heat before it's temperature rises by one degree
What is water?
500
These three metals are the best thermal conductors
What are gold, silver and copper?
500
Radiation waves need to do this in order for an object to absorb its energy and increase its temperature
What is strike an object?
500
This man created a scale that has an absolute zero unit of measurement
Who is Kelvin?
500
This is the ability to cause change
What is energy?
