- 4. the measure of matter in an object
- 7. the measure of heat or intensity in an object
- 8. the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.
- 9. the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.

- 16. The phenomenon has to be able to be observable. This means that the object must be able to be sensed by humans in some way
- 19. a substance which does not readily allow the passage of heat or sound
- 22. Thermal energy can be described as the amount of energy a body stored due to its being at a higher temperature than its surroundings
- 23. A statement that answers the hypothesis
