Heat moves from matter in 3 different ways: (a) , convection and through radiation. Depending on the (b) of (c) , heat energy will (d) from one object in the system to another object in the system. Particles of matter (e) more or less depending on the amount of thermal energy that enters or leaves the system.
Example of conduction
Example of convection
Example of radiation

Conductor
Insulator
Mittens help keep your hands warm in winter because
they are colorful
they are fuzzy
they are conductors
they are insulators
Which of the following methods of heat transfer occurs to liquids and gases, producing currents?
Conduction

Radiation
After visiting a community pool, Chris notices the pool water (a) in (b) by mid afternoon. They observed that the (c) energy must have (d) to the pool's water to increase it's temperature over time. As he lay in the pool, they noticed the bottom of the pool had water that felt (e) in temperature than the water at the top of the pool. Based on their initial observations, they believed the pool would eventually cool down and the heat energy of the water would eventually transfer elsewhere.
True or false: All matter is made of particles. These particles will vibrate more or less depending on the amount of thermal energy they absorb.
True
False
Match the following states of matter to the correct structure of particles
Particles of Solids
Particles for Liquids
Particles for Gases
When solid water gains (a) its (b) move (c) . This allows the solid water in the form of (d) to (e) into liquid water at 0 degrees Celsius, or 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
When gas water transfers (a) out of its system, its (b) move slower . This allows the gas water in the form of (c) to (d) into (e) at 100 degrees Celsius, or 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
The plastic covering is there to:
Provide a conductor for electrical energy to flow.
Provide an insulator so that electrical energy will not pass outside of the wires.
Provide a conductor so that electrical energy can NOT flow.
Provide an insulator so that electrical energy can flow.
This girl is wearing pink wool earmuffs to keep her ears warm in the snowy weather. Differentiate between conductors and insulators. How does the wool affect heat transfer? (wool is a type of fabric)
The wool is a conductor that transfers heat from her ears to the wool earmuffs.
The wool is an insulator that provides heat to keep the girl's ears warm.
The wool is an insulator that keep the girl's ears from loosing heat.
Objects like (a) water bottles do not hold (b) very well. Engineers might have decided to use this material to make disposable water bottles because plastic doesn't (c) heat well like (d) would. If they did, the water we'd drink would be (e) in temperature.
Sam has been waking up sweating every night. Sam believes that his new cotton bed comforter might be the reason he has been experiencing this. They don't want to change their new comforter but they feel uncomfortable sleeping each night because of how much they sweat. Why is the comforter giving Sam this problem and what would you recommend they do next to solve their problem?
