The average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material, measured by a thermometer in degrees is called

Temperature is measured by a thermometer in degrees

Transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solids, liquids, and gases when two substances of different temperatures touch

is known as

The transfer of thermal energy from one place to another by the movement of fluids; occurs on a large scale in atmospheric gases, oceans, and Earth’s mantle

The energy transferred between two objects of different temperatures; energy will continue to move in a predictable pattern from warmer site to cooler site until all sites have reached the same temperature. This is called simply

A cyclical motion occurs because the density of a fluid is related to its temperature. Heated lower regions of the fluid are less dense than their cooler counterparts. The less dense fluid rises and the denser fluid sinks due to gravity. The combined motions form a circular pattern.

The transfer of energy by electromagnetic rays; may occur in empty space; matter need not be in direct contact or be present for the transfer of energy to occur.

The Law of Conservation of Energy states:

A cyclical motion occurs because the density of a fluid is related to its temperature. Heated lower regions of the fluid are less dense than their cooler counterparts. The less dense fluid rises and the denser fluid sinks due to gravity. The combined motions form a circular pattern. This is called

The change of energy from one form to another is called

A substance that allows the flow of electric charge or transfers thermal energy through matter is known as a

A substance that resists electric current or a material that resists the flow of heat is called a(n)

The energy of motion is known as

A form of energy produced through reactions that occur in chemical compounds as they react to each other or to some action is called

A form of energy made available by the flow of electric charge through a conductor is called

A form of energy that exhibits wave-like behavior as it travels through space; part of the electromagnetic spectrum is called

The sum of the motion (kinetic) energy and position (potential) energy of an object or the parts of a mechanical system is known as

Thermal energy is the total kinetic (motion) energy of the tiny particles that make up matter. The faster the particles move, the warmer the matter becomes. This is known as

_____________ is a form of energy that is made by vibrations and requires a medium (such as air, water, or solids) in order to travel. Sound waves travel slower than light waves

A ______________ is a group of interacting or interdependent elements forming a complex whole; for example, all the factors or variables in an environment or all the variables that might affect a science experiment

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy just changes form. This is the Law of
