1 Thermal Energy

2 TEMPERATURE Measure of kinetic energy of molecules Thermometer Fahrenheit Celsius Kelvin

3 Measurment related to the quantity of molecules.
Thermal Energy Measurment related to the quantity of molecules.

4 Thermal energy always moves from warmer to cooler objects.
HEAT Thermal energy always moves from warmer to cooler objects. Heat is the result of molecules vibrating quickly. Heat is moving energy.

5 The transfer of heat by direct contact between objects or particles.
Conduction The transfer of heat by direct contact between objects or particles.

6 Radiation Heat transferred through space. EXAMPLE: The sun’s rays causing a sunburn.

7 Heat transferred by the movement of molecules within a substance.
Convection Heat transferred by the movement of molecules within a substance. Movement occurs from warmer areas to cooler areas.

8 Convection Current The movement of a substance that is caused by differences in temperature and density. EXAMPLES: wind boiling water NATURE WANTS EVERYTHING TO BALANCE ! !

9 Conductors Conductors are materials that transfer heat easily.
Examples: metals like copper and gold

10 Insulators An insulator is a material that does not transfer heat easily. Examples: liquids and gases A jacket
