2
Open Ended
Tell me three ways energy is transferred. (page 24)
3
One property of matter is how quickly a substance warms up. Different types of matter require different amounts of thermal energy to increase their temperature by the same amount.
The sand on the beach...compare it to water temp during the day and at night.
(Section 5 - Page 25)
Main Point
4
Open Ended
Why is the sand warmer than the water during the day and colder than the water at night?
5
In general, the thermal energy in an object depends on its state.
Main Point 1
A substance’s thermal energy changes when its state changes and as its energy is transferred through melting, evaporation, condensation, and freezing.

Multiple Choice
If you have the same mass of a gas, a liquid, and a solid, each at the same temperature, which has the least energy?
Gas
Liquid
Solid

Main Points:
1) Thermometers are used to measure the temperature of the air.
2) Most people are interested in conditions close to the ground, where the high and low air temperatures for your area’s daily weather reports are measured.
3) Temperature for weather analysis and forecasting is usually measured at weather stations.
