1

air

2

Thermal energy

3

vapor

4

Light energy

9

10

Multiple Choice

John put a heat pack on his cold feet. What will most likely be the result?

1

The cold from John’s feet will be radiated into the heat pack.

2

The warmth of the heat pack will be radiated onto John’s feet.

3

The cold from John’s feet will be conducted into the heat pack.

4

The warmth of the heat pack will be conducted onto John’s feet.

11

Multiple Choice

1

A piece of wood burns in a fire.

2

A shirt is hot after having been ironed.

3

A can of soup is heated in a pot on a stove.

4

12

What is Heat?

And why does it transfer?

13

Open Ended

Question image

If you were to zoom in to some frozen water molecules as you heat them up, how do you think they change as they get warmer?

Type response here

14

All matter is made of particles (atoms or molecules) tha are always moving.

Slide image

15

The more heat energy added to a substance, the more the particles move.

The more they move, the farther apart they get! This is why we have phase changes.

Slide image

16

Multiple Choice

All matter is made of _____ that are constanly moving.

1

insulators

2

particles

3

convection

4

pieces of plastic

17

Multiple Choice

Molecules are always ____________________ (with the exception of absolute zero).

1

in motion

2

frozen

18

HEAT (thermal energy) is the energy that an object has because of the motion of its particles

more heat = more motion

Slide image

19

A thermometer measures the temperature, or how fast the particles are moving.

Faster movement = higher temperature

Slide image

20

Multiple Choice

Measures how fast or how slow molecules are moving

1

Thermal Energy

2

Temperature

3

Heat

4

All of them

21

Heat ALWAYS transfers from hot to cold.

Slide image

22

Heat transfers from one object in contact with another until they reach EQUILIBRIUM.

Equilibrium is when the temperatures are equal!

Slide image

23

Multiple Choice

In nature, heat always flows from a:

1

cold object to a warm object.

2

small object to a big object.

3

warm object to a cold object.

4

large object to a small object.

24

Multiple Choice

heat always travels from _____ to ______ objects

1

hot to cold

2

cold to hot

3

cold to cold

4

hot to hot

25

Heat travels easily through CONDUCTORS like:

Silver
Gold
Copper
Any metals...

Slide image

26

Heat does not like to travel through INSULATORS like:

Plastic
Wood
Paper
Vinyl
Fabrics

Slide image

27

Multiple Choice

Question image

29

Multiple Choice

What is a conductor?

1

a material that slows the transfer of heat

2

a material that transfers heat easily

3

a material that is fluffy

4

a material that is temperature controlled

30
