The amount of energy in a material is measured by how fast its molecules are vibrating. This is called . . . .

• heat
• cold
• gravity
• mass

If a material's molecules are tightly packed, so that it has more of them in a given space, this material is more . . . .

• dense
• hot
• cold
• gravity

Heat always transfer from . . . .

• hot to cold
• cold to hot
• any direction
• down to up

Heat moving through a solid material, or between materials, by touch is called . . . .

• conduction
• convection
• radiation
• gravity
