| Term | Definition |
|---|
| 1st Law Thermodynamics | energy cannot be created or destroyed just transferred |
| 3rd Law Thermodynamics | brownian motion will stop in the absence of heat or 0 Kelvin |
| Radiation | the transfer of energy through waves |
| Conduction | the transfer of energy through touching |
| convection | hot material rising and cold material dropping!!!! |
| conductor | allows heat transfer |
| insulator | slows heat transfer |
| convection current | a current caused by the rising of warm air and the falling of cool air, causing wind |
| light pollution | caused by lights pointing up, it loses energy, causing pollution |
| Where does radiation occur on Earth? | sun to Earth |
| states of matter | solid liquid gas |
| heat | a form of energy |
| energy | the ability to move or preform work |
| temperature | the measurement of the amount of heat energy in a substance |
| celcius | the preferred unit of measurement in a science laboratory |
| absolute 0 | the theorized temperature when all atomic motion will stop |
| less dense state of matter | gas |
| introduction section | background info, purpose of experiment,hypothesis |
| material section | items necessary to complete the experiment, safety concerns |
| procedure section | detailing list of procedure,identify groups |
| data section | raw data collected in a table |
| analysis section | graph of data, interpretation of data |
| conclusion section | determine whether the hypothesis was supported or not, specify human or experimental errors |
| Brownian motion | atoms that make up matter in a constant motion |
| dense vs less dense | hot air rises because its less dense |
