Terms

Temperature: Measures the amount of heat energy something contains
( average kinetic energy)

Thermal Energy : measures the total kinetic energy of all the particles in a
substance.

degree Celsius: basic unit of measurement for temperature in the Metric
system.

degree Fahrenheit: basic unit of measurement for temperature in the English system.

Absolute Zero: temperature at which there is no heat energy. No
molecule movement. Used by scientists in extreme
conditions.

Conduction: The transfer of heat through a solid; direct contact
particle to particle within a substance.


Convection : The transfer of heat through a fluid ( gas or liquid) - currents

Radiation : The transfer of energy through empty space in form of
electromagnetic waves.

Specific Heat : The amount of heat required to raise the temp of a
Substance
The higher the specific heat the longer it takes to heat up.
The higher the specific heat longer it takes to cool down.
