Heat & Energy

1. The transfer of heat by the movement of currents within a fluid (liquid or gas).
5. A material, such as metal, that allows heat to flow through it easily.
7. The law stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
9. Energy stored in the bonds of compounds, such as food or gasoline.
11. The transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves, which does not require a medium.
13. The process of changing energy from one form to another.
15. The sum of kinetic and potential energy in a system.
16. A material that resists or slows down the flow of heat.

2. The transfer of thermal energy through direct contact between particles of matter.
3. The total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance; often felt as heat.
4. The energy an object possesses due to its motion.
6. The standard unit used to measure energy and work in the metric system.
8. A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
10. The ratio of useful energy output to the total energy input.
12. Stored energy an object has because of its position or condition.
14. A force that opposes motion and often converts mechanical energy into "waste" heat.
