| temperature | is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles |
| absolute zero | The temperature at which all atoms stop moving |
| thermal energy | is the total energy of all of the particles in a system. |
| heat | is thermal energy moving from warmer objects to cooler objects. |
| transfer | moving energy |
| conduction | the process of heat being transferred from one particle of matter to another without the movement of matter itself. (i.e. by touch) |
| convection | the movement that transfers heat by the movement of currents within a fluid. |
| radiation | the transfer of energy by the electromagnetic waves |
| conductor | a material that conducts energy well. |
| insulator | a material that does not conduct energy well. |
| solid | has a definite volume and a definite shape. |
| liquid | definite volume and no definite shape |
| gas | variable volume and shape |
| plasma | atoms that lose electrons from high temperatures |
| matter | anything with mass and volume |
