Chapter 6 - Thermal Energy

Energy something has because it is moving.

• Kinetic Energy

• Potential Energy

• Static Energy

NGSS.MS-PS3-1

NGSS.MS-PS3-4

NGSS.MS-PS3-5

Energy that is stored in an object.

• Kinetic Energy

• Potential Energy

• Static Energy

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS3-2

The total energy (kinetic + potential) of all the moving particles that make up a solid, liquid or gas the energy that is responsible for its temperature.

• Thermal Energy

• Electrical Energy

• Chemical Energy

NGSS.MS-PS3-3

NGSS.MS-PS3-4

A measure of the average motion (kinetic energy) of particles in an object.

• Temperature

• Thermal Energy

• Heat

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS3-4

The movement of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object.

• Heat

• Temperature

• Thermometer

NGSS.MS-PS3-3

NGSS.MS-PS3-4

Electromagnetic waves that transfer thermal energy.

• Radiation

• Conduction

• Convection

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS4-1

NGSS.MS-PS4-2

Transfer of thermal energy through touch (Atoms of warmer object touch atoms of cooler object causing them to vibrate/move faster.)

• Radiation

• Conduction

• Convection

Tags

NGSS.MS-PS3-4

Transfer of thermal energy by the movement of particles from one part of a fluid to another.

• Radiation

• Conduction

• Convection

Material that thermal energy flows through easily.

• Thermal Conductor

• Thermal Insulator
