| Temperature | A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in any object. |
| Thermal energy | The total kinetic energy of the particles in a mataerial. |
| Heat | A transfer of thermal energy from one object to another because of a difference in temperature. |
| Radiation | Energy that travels by waves in all directions from its source. |
| Conduction | A transfer of t hermal energy from particle to particle through a material when there is a temperature difference. |
| Convection | Transfers thermal energy when particles move from one place to another where there is a difference in temperature. |
| Conductor | A material through which it is easy to transfer thermal energy. |
| Insulator | Materials that don't allow thermal energy to be conducted easily. |
