| kinetic theory of matter | a theory stating that all matter is made of particles in motion |
| temperature | a measure of the average mount of kinetic energy of the particles in an object |
| degree | evenly divided units of a temperature scale |
| thermometer | a devise for measuring temperature |
| heat | a flow of energy from a warmer object ot a cooler object |
| thermal energy | the total amount of kinetic energy of particles in an object |
| conduction | the process by which energy moves from a warmer object to a cooler object when the objects are touching |
| conductor | a material that transfers energy easily |
| insulator | a material that does not transfer energy easily |
| convection | a process by which energy is transferred in gases and liquids, occurs when a warmer less dense area of gas or liquid is pushed up be a cooler more dense area of gas or liquid |
| radiation | the transfer of energy across distances in the form of electromagnetic waves |
