Matter vs. Energy

  • Everything in the universe can be classified as either matter or energy.

  • ​If you can point to it, it is matter.

  • ​Matter has mass and volume.

  • ​Energy is the ability to cause a change.

  • ​Some examples of energy include heat, light, and sound.

Review - States of Matter

  • Remember that all objects are made of matter.

  • The 3 states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.

  • In a solid, the matter vibrates slowly.

  • In a gas, the matter moves quickly.

What is temperature?

  • Temperature is a measure of how fast the matter is moving.

  • The faster the matter is moving, the greater the temperature.

  • Solids have a low temperature because the matter moves slowly.

  • Gases have a high temperature because the matter moves quickly.

Heat Transfer

  • When two objects have different temperatures, energy will move from the hotter object to the colder object.

  • The movement from energy from a hot object to a cold object is called heat transfer.

  • Heat transfer will continue until the two objects have the same temperature.
