Materials that are good at transferring heat energy

Question 4

What is an example of a conductor?

Answer 4

Metals

Question 5

What are insulators?

Answer 5

Materials that are poor at transferring heat energy

Question 6

What is an example of an insulator?

Answer 6

Rubber

Question 7

What is a convection current?

Answer 7

The movement of rising hot particles and sinking cold particles

Question 8

What is an example of a situation where we might observe convection?

Answer 8

Boiling water in a pot, lava lamp, etc

Question 9

What is heat?

Answer 9

Heat is a form of energy

Question 10

What is temperature?

Answer 10

The measurement of average kinetic energy in a substance

Question 11

How to find temperature in Kelvins?

Answer 11

273.15 + temperature in celsius

Question 12

How to find temperature in Celsius?

Answer 12

Temperature in Kelvins - 273.15

Question 13

What happens to the heat energy when liquid/gas is heated?

Answer 13

The heat energy turns into kinetic energy, allowing the movement of the particles to speed up making the particles collid
