TermDefinition
heat The movement of thermal energy from the area of higher temperature form an area of lower temperature.
thermal energy Both the potential and kinetic energy of particles
temperature Temperature is defined as a measure of the average kinetic energy of all of the particles in a substance
conductor Materials that allow thermal energy to flow easily through it.
insulator Materials that slow down the flow of thermal energy transfer through it.
thermal expansion As the thermal energy of a substance increases, its particles spread out and the substance expands. The expanding of matter when it is heated.
thermal equilibrium when the temperatures of materials that are in contact are the same. Objects become the same temperature.
The difference between a conductor and an insulator Conductors allow thermal energy to flow easily. Insulators slow down the flow of thermal energy.
Examples of conductors and insulators A few examples of a conductor are silver, aluminium, and iron. A few examples of an insulator are paper, wood, and rubber. Electrons move freely within the conductor. Electrons do not move freely within the insulator.
How does thermal energy affect particle motion? (solid, liquid, gasses) A rise in temperature increases the kinetic energy and speed of particles; it does not weaken the forces between them.
What is dependent variable vs independent variable? Dependent variable is the y axis which is going up and the independent variable is the x axis going across.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
