thermal energy

4. energy energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules of substances (e.g., food, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and propane contain stored chemical energy)
6. transfer of heat through direct contact from a warmer substance to a cooler substance
8. states that energy is neither created or destroyed; it only changes forms
10. transfer of thermal energy, in a liquid or gas, in which the warmer substance rises and the cooler substance sinks; forms a current
11. measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance

1. the transfer of energy from a light source (e.g. solar, light bulb)
2. process of energy changing from one form to another
3. transfer of thermal energy between substances that are at different temperatures
5. the ability to cause change or do work
7. transfer of energy from one object or substance to another
9. The kinetic energy resulting from the motion of particles that is transferred by heat:associated with the temperature of substances.
