Science Energy Review

Front

What is the worst conductor of heat?

Back

Wood - it took 8 minutes to melt ice.

Front

How do vibrations produce energy?

Back

They produce sound energy by their rapid movement.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

Something that prevents something else from flowing through it.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

The total energy of all the particles in an object, related to temperature.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

The transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is convection?

Back

The transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids and gases).

Front

What is radiation?

Back

The transfer of energy through space without the need for a medium, such as sunlight.

Front

What is sound energy?

Back

Energy produced by vibrating objects, which creates sound waves.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and thermal energy?

Back

Higher temperature means higher thermal energy due to faster particle movement.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A material that allows heat or electricity to flow through it easily.
