- 4. radiation - Invisible radiation in the part of the electromagnetic spectrum characterized by wavelengths just longer than those of ordinary visible red light and shorter than those of microwaves or radio waves.
- 7. inquiry – the many ways in which scientists study the natural world and propose explanations based on the evidence they gather.
- 8. - a unit of energy equivalent to the heat energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 °C (now often defined as equal to 4.1868 joules).
- 10. – the facts, figures, and other evidence gathered through observations.
- 12. - deduce or conclude (information) from evidence and reasoning rather than from explicit statements.
- 13. - a way of learning about the natural world.
- 14. - heat transfer or movement between things that are touching.
- 15. – one of the factors that can change in an experiment.
- 16. - to make something different, alter or modify.
- 17. Thermal Unit (Btu) - the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of liquid water by 1 degree Fahrenheit at the temperature that water has its greatest density (approximately 39 degrees Fahrenheit).
- 18. variable (dependent variable) – the variable that changes because of the manipulated variable.
- 21. – making a forecast of what will happen in the future based on past experience or evidence.
- 25. - the quality, state, or degree of being stable: such as a resistance to change.
- 27. - heat transfer or movement within a fluid, such as liquid or air.
- 28. - what makes up everything in the universe.
- 31. - a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.
- 32. - an instance of one moving object or person striking violently against another.
- 33. – materials with low electron mobility.
- 41. experiment – a test of a hypothesis under conditions established by the scientist.
- 42. – the average amount of energy of motion of each molecule of a substance.
- 44. - the action of a force against an opposing force.
- 45. - symbol K, is the primary unit of temperature in the International System of Units, used alongside its prefixed forms and the degree Celsius. K − 273.15 = °C ; (K − 273.15) × 9/5 + 32 = °F.
- 46. - the capacity for doing work.

- 1. - heat transfer through empty space not requiring a medium.
- 2. - an instrument used to measure temperature.
- 3. energy - Kinetic energy is a form of energy that an object or a particle has by reason of its motion.
- 5. - using one or more of your senses to gather information.
- 6. - the scale of temperature on which water freezes at 32° and boils at 212° under standard conditions. The conversion formula for a temperature that is expressed on the Celsius (°C) scale to its Fahrenheit (°F) representation is: F = 9/5C + 32.
- 9. waves – waves that transfer electrical and magnetic energy not requiring a medium to travel.
- 10. - mass divided by volume.
- 11. - a state of stability in which there is no matter flowing into or out of the system.
- 19. - a possible explanation for a set of observations or answer to a scientific question.
- 20. law – describes an observed pattern in nature, but does not provide an explanation for it.
- 22. – materials with high electron mobility
- 23. – the thermal energy transferred from one object to another as a result of difference in temperature.
- 24. variable (independent variable) – the variable that a scientist changes in an experiment.
- 26. energy – the total energy of all the atoms that make up an object.
- 27. - the scale of temperature in which water freezes at 0° and boils at 100° under standard conditions. The conversion formula for a temperature that is expressed on the Farenheit (°F) scale to its Celsius (°C) representation is: C = 5/9(F - 32).
- 29. – tiny particles that when joined together and act as a unit make up molecules.
- 30. - the transfer of energy from particles colliding with other particles but doesn’t transfer the particles along the path of the energy.
- 34. - a set of parts working together to perform a certain function or unified whole.
- 35. Heat - The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree celsius. (The specific heat of water is 1 calorie/gram °C = 4.186 joule/gram °C which is higher than any other common substance. As a result, water plays a very important role in temperature regulation.)
