Fast & Curious Week 21

Thermal Energy

• the energy stored in chemical bonds.

• the energy of moving particles.

• energy associated with the position of an object.

• the energy released during nuclear reactions.

Temperature

• movement of thermal energy from warmer to cooler things

• measure of how much kinetic energy in the moving particles of something

• thermal enegy

• the pressure in particles

The process of a liquid changing into a gas; particles gain thermal energy to change phases.

• Freezing
• Evaporation
• Sublimation
• Condensation

The process of gas changing into a liquid; particles lose thermal energy to change phases.

• Condensation
• Sublimation
• Freezing
• Evaporation

Water falling from the clouds as rain, snow, sleet or hail.

• Precipitation
• Transpiration
• Condensation
• Evaporation

The process of liquid changing into a solid; particles lose thermal energy to change phases.

• Freezing
• Melting
• Evaporation
• Condensation

The process of a solid changing into a liquid; particles gain thermal energy to change phase.

• Melting
• Condensation
• Freezing
• Sublimation

The movement of thermal energy from warmer to cooler objects.

• Temperature regulation
• Thermal conduction
• Heat transfer
• Heat retention

The process through with plants release water through their leaves.

• transpiration

• evaporation

• precipiation

• runoff

Water that flows over the ground into stream, rivers, lakes.

• runoff

• transpiration

• condensation

• precipitation
