| Temperature | A measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of an object |
| Heat | The flow of thermal energy due to a temperature difference between two objects |
| Thermal Equilibrium | Heat will flow from a hot object to a cold object until they are the same temperature |
| Conduction | The transfer of heat by direct contact of particles of matter |
| Insulator | A material that conducts heat poorly |
| Convection | The transfer of heat by actual motion of a fluid (liquid or gas) in the form of currents |
| Specific Heat | The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram by one degree Celsius |
| Thermal Energy | The sum of all kinetic energy of the molecules of a material |
| Conductor | A material that transfers heat easily |
| Radiation | The direct transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves |
