Across
  1. 2. transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solids, liquids, and gases when two substances of different temperatures touch
  2. 4. average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material
  3. 8. energy of motion
  4. 11. thermal energy is the total kinetic (motion) energy of the tiny particles that make up matter. The faster the particles move, the warmer the matter becomes
  5. 12. anything that has volume and mass; occurs as elements, compounds, and mixtures
Down
  1. 1. a substance that allows the flow of electric charge or transfers thermal energy through matter
  2. 3. distinct forms of matter known in everyday experience; states include solid, liquid, and gas; also referred to as phases
  3. 5. heat transfer by the movement of electromagnetic waves
  4. 6. heat transfer caused by the rising of hotter, less dense liquids & gasses and the falling of cooler, more dense liquids & gasses
  5. 7. a set of connected things that works together
  6. 9. the ability of a system to do work; required for changes to happen within a system
  7. 10. the thermal energy exchanged between two objects of different temperatures; energy will continue to move in a predictable pattern, from a warmer site to a cooler site, until all sites have reached the same temperature
