1. Energy that moves particles in matter is called thermal energy.
2. Movement of thermal energy from one place to another is called heat.
3. A thermometer is a tool used for measuring heat.
4. Heat moves between objects that touch each other by conduction.
5. Heat moves through liquids and gases by convection.
6. Heat moves through space from the Sun to Earth by radiation.
7. A material, such as metal, in which thermal energy moves easily is called a conductor.
8. A material, such as wood, in which thermal energy can’t move easily is called an insulator.
9. The force between two objects that keeps them from moving freely is friction.
10. Friction is the force that makes matches work.
11. What we feel as heat is thermal energy.
12. Matter with slow-moving particles is cold.
13. Energy moves easily through conductors.
14. Rubbing our hands together makes thermal energy.
15. To keep thermal energy from moving, we use insulators.
16. Adding thermal energy can change particles in a liquid into a gas.
17. Thermal energy that moves without touching anything is radiation.
18. Wire is a conductor. Wood is not a conductor.
19. Fahrenheit and Celsius are two scales for measuring temperature.
20. How are hot water and cold water different? The particles in cold water move more slowly than the particles in hot water.
21. What can you do to produce thermal energy? Rub things together or burn things.
22. What happens when cold air meets hot air? Because it is heavier, the cold air sinks below the warm air, which is lighter.
23. How does the liquid in a thermometer show how warm it is? As the temperature goes up, the liquid in the thermometer expands and rises.
24. Mittens are insulators, so they keep our hands warm in cold weather.
