• heat
• temperature
• motion
• momentum

• conduction
• radiation
• convection
• insulation

Heat transfer occurs

• in many directions
• both from warm to cold and cold to warm
• only from warm to cold
• only from cold to warm

A material that conducts heat poorly is called a

• insulator
• conductor
• metal
• radiator

Heated AIR moves from baseboard heaters to the rest of a room in a process called

• conduction
• convection
• radiation
• insulation

• paper
• silver
• air

A measure of the AVERAGE kinetic energy of particles in an object is called 

• thermal energy
• conduction
• convection
• temperature

The more particles an object has a given temperature

• the higher its temperature
• the more thermal energy it has
• the more degrees it has
• the more kelvins it has

Heat is transferred from one particle of matter to another without the movement of matter itself is called

• conduction
• convection
• radiation
• insulation

Energy from the sun reach Earth mostly by

• conduction
• radiation
• convection
• thermal expansion
