Across
- 2. Anything that has volume and mass
- 5. Heat transfer caused by the rising of hotter, less dense fluids and the falling of cooler, denser fluids
- 8. Transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solids, liquids, and gases when two substances of different temperatures touch
- 10. A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole
- 11. The total kinetic (motion) energy of the tiny particles that make up matter; the faster the particles move, the warmer the matter becomes
- 12. Average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material; measured by a thermometer in degrees (usually degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit)
Down
- 1. Distinct forms of matter known in everyday experience: solid, liquid, and gas; also referred to as phases
- 3. The thermal energy exchange between two objects of different temperatures; energy moves in a predictable pattern from warmer sites to cooler sites until all sites have reached the same temperature
- 4. Known as the energy of motion
- 6. The ability of a system to do work; required for changes to happen within a system
- 7. The transfer of energy by the movement of electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles
- 9. A substance that allows the flow of electrical charge or transfers thermal energy through matter
