What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that does NOT allow heat to travel through easily.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is heat transfer through direct contact.

Front

Give an example of conduction.

Back

An example of conduction is heat transferred through water touching cold ice.

Front

What does constant rate mean?

Back

Constant rate means speed stays the same.

Front

If an object travels 3 meters in one second, 6 meters in two seconds, and 9 meters in three seconds, what can we say about its speed?

Back

The object is moving at a constant rate.

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows heat to travel through easily.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is heat transfer through the circulation of liquids and gases.

Front

What is an example of convection?

Back

An example of convection is heat transferred through ocean currents.

Front

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is heat transfer through electromagnetic waves.

Front

What is the difference between conduction and convection?

Back

Conduction is heat transfer through direct contact, while convection is heat transfer through the movement of fluids.
