Modes of Thermal Energy Transfer
This mode of thermal energy transfer occurs when two solids are in contact with one another
What is conduction
This is the measurement of the speed of the particles in a substance on average
What type of energy is stored within the molecular bonds within food?
Chemical energy
What are particles always doing even in a solid state?
What is vibrating or moving.
What's my favorite snack?
Cheez-its.
Which states of matter can convection occur within?
Liquid and gas
I am a type of energy that always moves from hot to cold, what am I?
Thermal energy
What has more energy when sitting on a shelf: a bowling ball or a feather?
Bowling ball
Why does a frozen lake have more thermal energy than a hot block of metal?
Because it has so many more particles.
How many kids do I have?

Is an ice cube radiating thermal energy?
Yes
How is heat different from thermal energy?
Heat is the movement of thermal energy - not the thermal energy itself.

What are radiation, conduction, convection
What is absolute zero in Celsius?
-215 C
A windmill electrician needs to be knowledgeable in what two types of energy?
mechanical and electrical
How come solids are generally better conductors of thermal energy when compared to gasses?
Because their molecules are closer together.
