Thermal Energy Transfer
Across
- 2. The state of matter where conduction happens most effectively.
- 6. The energy of motion; heat is actually the movement of molecules.
- 8. The movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler one.
- 10. Most materials do this when they get cold, taking up less space.
- 12. Most materials do this when they get hot, taking up more space.
- 13. Heat transfer through the circular movement of liquids or gases.
- 16. When two objects reach the same temperature and heat stops flowing.
- 18. A material like metal that allows heat to flow through it easily.
- 20. A state of matter (liquid or gas) where convection currents can happen.
Down
- 1. Tiny particles that move faster when they absorb heat energy.
- 3. A fluid that can transfer heat through convection or conduction.
- 4. A word that specifically relates to heat or temperature.
- 5. The technical two-word term for the energy of motion.
- 7. Heat transfer through direct contact or touching between objects.
- 9. The measurement of the average kinetic energy in an object.
- 11. Heat transfer through electromagnetic waves like sunlight or a campfire.
- 14. A material like wood or plastic that slows down heat transfer.
- 15. Convection happens because hot fluids have a lower ______ and rise.
- 17. Heat always moves away from an object that is ______.
- 19. Heat always moves toward an object that is ______.
