Heat and Heat Flow Processes Vocab Review

Transfer of heat between molecules through either molecular collisions or direct contact.

• Conduction

• Convection

• Thermal Radiation

NGSS.MS-PS1-4

Transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid caused when a heat source causes that fluid to become less dense and rise. This rising fluid allows denser fluid to flow in toward the heat source, perpetuating the process.

• Convection

• Conduction

• Thermal Radiation

NGSS.MS-PS3-4

A cycle in which heated low density material rises and cooler high density material sinks.

• Conduction Cell

• Convection Cell

• Convective Flow

• Thermal Radiation

NGSS.MS-ESS2-6

Transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves.

• Thermal Radiation

• Conduction

• Convection

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

NGSS.MS-PS4-2

A material that allows heat to easily pass through it.

• Conductor

• Insulator

• Resistor

• Capacitor

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS3-3

A material that does not allow heat to easily pass through it.

• Conductor

• Insulator

• Resistor

• Capacitor

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS3-3

A measure of the average energy of motion of the particles of a substance. The more motion the more heat energy.

• Temperature

• Heat

• Fahrenheit
