| energy | the ability to cause change |
| heat | thermal energy that flows from warmer material to cooler material |
| kinetic enregy | energy in the form of motion |
| law of conservation of energy | energy can change form but cannot be created or destroyed |
| Mecanical energy | total amount of kinetic and potential energy |
| potential energy | stored energy |
| specific heat | the amount of heat required to raise 1 Kg of material 1 degree kelvin |
| temperature | measure of the average kinetic energy of a materials particles. |
| thermal energy | total energy of a material's particles |
| thermal pollution | waste heat raising the temperature of the environment |
| work | transfer of energy thorugh motion |
| Conduction | transfer of energy through matter particle to particle |
| Fluid | any material that flows |
| Convection | Transfer of energy by the bullk movement of matter |
| Radiation | transfer of energy in the form of waves, does not require matter |
| Insulation | a material that does not allow heat or electrons to move through it easily |
