Play This Game


All things Heat
#1 the energy of motion What is kinetic energy?
#2 the transfer of thermal energy from a warmer to cooler object What is heat?
#3 The AVERAGE kinetic energy that the particles in a substance has What is temperature?
#4 The TOTAL kinetic energy that the particles in a substance has What is thermal energy?
#5 faster moving particles will have _______ kinetic energy and therefore a _______ temperature than slower moving particles more; higher
Methods of Heat Transfer
#1 The transfer of heat by direct contact between particles What is conduction?
#2 The transfer of heat through empty space by electromagnetic waves What is radiation?
#3 The transfer of heat by warmer fluids rising and cooler fluids sinking What is convection?
#4 Explain how conduction works when substances come in contact with each other, the particles bump into each other giving away some thermal energy
#5 Explain how convection works fluids close to the heat source warm up, the particles spread out, becoming less dense, fluid rises; cooler fluid is less dense so it sinks
Characteristics of Heat
#1 Heat always moves from _________ to __________ warmer to cooler
#2 T or F: The temperature of a substance depends on how much of the substance you have False
#3 T or F: The thermal energy of a substance depends on how much of the substance you have True
#4 In which phases of matter do the particles have kinetic energy? All phases
#5 What are the 3 scales for measuring temperature? Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin
Materials for Heat Transfer
#1 materials that transfer thermal energy well What are conductors?
#2 materials that do NOT transfer thermal energy well What are insulators?
#3 Give two examples of conductors glass, metal, tile
#4 Give three examples of insulators various answers
#5 What are insulators used for? use to prevent or slow down the transfer of thermal energy
Examples of Heat Transfer
#1 you burn your hand when you touch the metal end of a curling iron conduction
#2 a heater located in the deep ened warms an entire swimming pool convection
#3 the sunlight shines directly on you through the window making you feel hot radiation
#4 Your feet feel cold as you walk onto the tile floor in your bathroom conduction
#5 when you sit facing a campfire, your face feels warm but your back feels cold radiation
Final Question
Which will have more thermal energy: an ice sculpture or a burning match? Explain ice sculpture; even though it has a lower temperature, it has A LOT more particles than a match has. and thermal energy is TOTAL kinetice energy
