Heat Transfer and Material Properties

Front

Data that can be measured (temperature, size, etc)

Back

Quantitative data refers to information that can be quantified and is measurable, such as temperature and size.

Front

Adding heat

Back

Heating is the process of adding energy to a substance, which increases its temperature.

Front

Taking away heat

Back

Cooling is the process of removing heat from a substance, which decreases its temperature.

Front

Getting smaller

Back

Contraction is the process where a material decreases in size, often due to a decrease in temperature.

Front

To save or keep something

Back

Conservation refers to the practice of preserving or protecting something, such as energy or resources.

Front

Materials that allow heat to pass through easily

Back

Conductors are materials that facilitate the transfer of heat, such as metals.

Front

Materials that resist heat transfer

Back

Insulators are materials that do not allow heat to pass through easily, such as rubber or wood.

Front

The process of a substance becoming larger due to heat

Back

Expansion is the process where a material increases in size when heated.

Front

The measure of how hot or cold something is

Back

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

Front

The change in state from solid to liquid due to heat

Back

Melting is the process where a solid turns into a liquid when heat is added.
