Phase Changes
This is the process of a liquid turning into a gas at the surface.
Evaporation
This type of heat transfer happens through direct touch, like burning your hand on a hot taypan.
Conduction
In this state of matter, particles are packed tight and only vibrate in place.
Solid
Materials like metal that allow heat to pass through them easily are called this.
Conductors
This is the tool used to measure the average kinetic energy (heat) of a substance.
Thermometer
When water vapor touches a cold soda can and turns back into liquid droplets, it is called this.
Condensation
This method of heat transfer moves through gases and liquids in circular patterns called "currents."
Convection
When you add heat to a substance, do the molecules move faster or slower?
Faster
A material like wool, rubber, or wood that slows down the flow of heat.
insulators
Which is more dense: a solid or a gas? Explain why using the word "particles."
Solid
True or False: Energy is added to water to make it evaporate.
True
This is the only form of heat transfer that can travel through the empty vacuum of space.
Radiation
his state of matter has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container.
Liquid
Why are most frying pans made of metal but have plastic or wooden handles?
Because metal is a conductor and plastic/wood are insulators.
If you put a wooden spoon and a metal spoon in a pot of boiling water, why does the metal spoon feel hotter if they are both in the same temperature water?
The metal spoon conducts heat to your hand faster; the wood is an insulator.
Clouds being created is due to
When warm air rises and cool air sinks, it creates this type of cycle.
Convection Current
This state of matter has no definite shape and no definite volume; its particles fly everywhere!
Gas
A winter coat doesn't actually "give" you heat; instead, it does this to your body heat.
What is traps it (prevents it from escaping)
In a house with a fireplace, why do the upstairs bedrooms often stay warmer than the downstairs rooms, even if the fire is downstairs?
Because of convection (warm air is less dense and rises).
You see "fog" on the inside of a window on a cold day. Is the water vapor coming from the air inside the house or the air outside?
Inside
The sun warming your face and a microwave cooking popcorn are both examples of this.
Radiation
Heat always moves in this direction (choose: Hot to Cold OR Cold to Hot).
Hot to cold
What material is best for keeping items hot and why
Metal because it is a good conductor of heat
