Trimester 2 Science vocabulary and concepts:

This guide explores vital concepts surrounding heat and energy. It covers definitions and classifications such as potential energy, kinetic energy, and the Law of Conservation of Energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. Learn about the different forms of energy, including electrical, electromagnetic, thermal, chemical, sound, mechanical, and nuclear energy. Understand the processes of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation, along with the roles of conductors and insulators. Enhance your science vocabulary and grasp the fundamental principles of energy.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Trimester 2 Science vocabulary and concepts: Heat & Energy

  2. Energy • the ability to causechange Heat Energy Heat Energy

  3. Potential Energy • the storedenergy an object has due to its position or chemical composition

  4. Kinetic energy • the energy of motion--the more mass or speed, the more kinetic energy

  5. The Law of Conservation of Energy • states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVxEEn3w688&feature=related

  6. Electrical energy • energy of moving electrical charges

  7. Electromagnetic energy • energy that is transmitted through space in the form of electromagnetic waves

  8. Thermal energy • the totalamount of energy from the movement of the particles in an object

  9. Chemical energy • energy stored in the chemical composition of matter

  10. Sound energy • energy produced by the vibration of particles that people and animals can detect

  11. Mechanical energy • energy that moves objects

  12. Nuclear energy • energy stored in the nucleus of an atom

  13. Heat • the flow of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object

  14. Temperature • a measure of the average amount of kinetic energy of the particles in an object

  15. Conduction • the transfer of heat energy from one object to another when they are touching

  16. Convection • the transfer of heat energy from the movement of particles in a gas or a liquid

  17. Radiation • the transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves

  18. Conductor • an object or material that transfersenergy easily

  19. Insulator • an object or material that doesn’ttransfer energy easily
