Presentation Transcript

  1. Thermal Energy Is the total random kinetic energy of particles in an object Which has more thermal energy? Why? • Glass of water • Lake Acworth

  2. HEAT • Is a flow of energy from an object at a higher temperature to an object at a lower temperature • Heat is the result of molecules vibrating quickly. • Heat is moving energy. • What happens when you add heat energy to a pot of water?

  3. Conduction • The transfer of heat by direct contact between objects or particles.

  4. Radiation • Heat transferred through space. • EXAMPLE: The sun’s rays causing a sunburn.

  5. Convection • Heat transferred by the movement of molecules within a substance (liquids or gases). • Movement occurs from warmer areas to cooler areas.

  6. Convection Current • The movement of a substance that is caused by differences in temperature and density. • EXAMPLES: wind boiling water • NATURE WANTS EVERYTHING TO BALANCE ! !

  7. Conductors • Conductors are materials that transfer heat easily. • Examples: metals like copper and gold

  8. Insulators • An insulator is a material that does not transfer heat easily. • Examples: • liquids and gases • A jacket
