Kinetic energy
the movement of the molecules is known as kinetic energy
Temperature
the substance around us, the average amount of kinetic energy in something
Molecular
the particles around us
Liquid
molecules move a little more freely
Gas
molecules move very freely
Solid
matter vibrates
Matter
any object with a mass
Gas
molecules moving freely molecules
Radiation:
heat passes through energy
Convection
heat passes through liquid or gas
Conduction
heat passes through matter.
Independent Variable
the variable being changed
Dependent Variable
The Variable the variable being affected by the changed
Control group
The original test materials with their original properties(materials).
Constant
The variable that doesn’t change
Cold Energy
There is no such thing!
Constant
The variable that doesn’t change
Temperature
kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance
Hypothesis
: a educated guess
Conductor
a movement of heat through a material
Volume
The quantity of 3-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface
Insulator
keeps heat in and keeps cold out
Radiation
Heat as waves move through the air and don’t need any matter.
Conduction
The movement of heat throw another object.
Matter
Has mass and takes up space
Conduction
heat moves through
Experimental group
the group you choose to change
control group
the starting experiment without the change
Kinetic Theory:
the theory of kinetic energy
The independent variable
the variable you can decide to change or the x axis
