Presentation Transcript

  1. Thermal Energy • 5th grade science • Lisa Kreuzer

  2. TEMPERATURE • Measure of kinetic energy of molecules • Thermometer • Fahrenheit • Celsius • Kelvin

  3. Thermal Energy • Measurment related to the quantity of molecules.

  4. HEAT • Thermal energy always moves from warmer to cooler objects. • Heat is the result of molecules vibrating quickly. • Heat is moving energy.

  5. Conduction • The transfer of heat by direct contact between objects or particles.

  6. Radiation • Heat transferred through space. • EXAMPLE: The sun’s rays causing a sunburn.

  7. Convection • Heat transferred by the movement of molecules within a substance. • Movement occurs from warmer areas to cooler areas.

  8. Convection Current • The movement of a substance that is caused by differences in temperature and density. • EXAMPLES: wind boiling water • NATURE WANTS EVERYTHING TO BALANCE ! !

  9. Conductors • Conductors are materials that transfer heat easily. • Examples: metals like copper and gold

  10. Insulators • An insulator is a material that does not transfer heat easily. • Examples: • liquids and gases • A jacket
