Sience 7 Heat And Temperature Flashcards
Thermal energy
(Heat) is the total energy of all the particles in a material or an object
Thermometers
Mechanical or electrical devices measuring temperature (invented by Galileo)
Scale
A series of equal measured sections that are marked as numbers used for measurement. (numbers and measurements)
Celsius scale
Temperature system most commonly used in cannada and many other parts of the world
(Unite of temperature is called a degree)
Freezing point
0 degrees at sea level on the Celsius scale.(water freezes at)
Boiling point
100 degrees at sea level on the Celsius scale.(water boils at)
Kelvin scale
A scale used for measuring temperatures in scientific experiments. (water freezes on the Kelvin scale at 273k and boils at 373k)
Energy
Is a measure of something’s ability to do work
Law of conservation of energy (important)
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one object to another

the particle model
-all substances are made of tiny particles too small to be seen
-particles are always in motion
-particles have spaces in between them
The motion of particles increases as temperature increases and decreases as temperature decreases. *temperature indicates the average speed of particles motion in a substance
Particle theory of matter
- All matter is made up of tiny particles
2.particles are allways moving
3.ther are spaces between particles
4.particles of a substance have attractive forces between them
5.temperature effects the speed of particles
A. Adding heat- increases speed of particles
B. Removing heat (cooling) - decreases speed of particles
Conduction
Flow of energy between a substances that are in contact.
Convection
Flow of heat energy that involves moving liquid or gas particles
Radiation
Flow of energy in the form of invisible.
