Heat Transfer

The measure of how hot or cold a substance is

• thermal energy

• conductor

• temperature

• heat

Material that easily allows heat energy to flow through it

• conductor

• insulator

• molecule

• radiation

The transfer of energy from one place to another by direct contact (by touching object to object)

• insulator

• heat transfer

• convection

• conduction

The smallest piece of a substance that contains all of the properties of that substance

• molecule

• thermal energy

• heat

• heat transfer

The three main ways that heat moves from one substance to another

• radiation

• heat

• thermal energy

• heat transfer

Material that does NOT allow heat energy to easily flow though it

• conductor

• insulator

• radiation

• convection

Energy in the form of heat which is determined by the movement of the molecules that make up that substance

• thermal energy

• heat

• radiation

• molecule

The transfer of energy using electromagnetic waves

• conduction

• convection

• thermal energy

• radiation

The transfer of energy from one place to another by warming a gas or a liquid

• radiation

• convection

• heat transfer

• conductor

The transfer of thermal energy which occurs when thermal energy is lost or gained

• heat

• temperature

• insulator

• conductor
