Solar oven

Question 1

The property of a material that determines how well it conducts/transmits heat. (Examples: Metal generally has a high thermal conductivity, plastic generally has a low thermal conductivity.)

Answer 1

Thermal conductivity

Question 2

A resource that is not replaceable after it has been used. (Examples: Fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas, iron ore.)

Answer 2

Nonrenewable resource

Question 3

Heat flow due to the contact of two objects or within a solid object.

Answer 3

conduction

Question 4

The amount of power received on the Earth’s surface per unit area. (watts per square meter in the SI unit system)

Answer 4

Insolation / solar radiation

Question 5

Heat flow due to fluid movement such as water.

Answer 5

Convection

Question 6

A property of the surface of an object that determines how much electromagnetic energy is reflected and how much is absorbed by an object in the form of heat. Emissivity is very dependent on color. (Examples: Aluminum foil has a low emissivity because it reflects a majority of heat and a black surface has a high emissivity because it absorbs a lot of heat; a black shirt gets hotter than a white one in the sun.)

Answer 6

Emissivity

Question 7

Energy transferred through the movement of electromagnetic waves; heat transfer not requiring a medium.

Answer 7

radiation

Question 8

A material that does not conduct heat very well and has a low thermal conductivity. (Examples: A good jacket, fiberglass insulation, a sleeping bag, anything with air trapped in it.)

Answer 8

Insulator / insulation

Question 9

A resource that is inexhaustible or replaceable by new growth; limitless supply. (Example: Solar energy.)

Answer 9

Renewable resource
