After watching the video Heat-Temperature-Energy, answer the questions below.

1. What is thermal energy?

The internal energy of matter (video definition) The form of energy that moves particles of
matter (book definition)
2. What is heat?
The flow of thermal energy from one place to another (video definition) The movement of
thermal energy from hotter objects to cooler objects (book definition)

3. How does heat always flow?

It flows from something warmer to something cooler

4. What happens to the molecules of something when it is heated?

They speed up

5. As the experiment with the ring and ball shows, what happens when most
substances are heated and cooled?
They expand when heated and contract when cooled

6. How are heat and temperature different?

Temperature is the measure of the speed with which the molecules in a substance are, on
average moving. Heat is a measure of the total thermal energy inside a substance
7. How are heat and temperature measured?
Temperature is measured in units called degrees/Celsius and heat is measured in calories

8. Name some materials that are good conductors.

Answers may varyMetals like copper, aluminum,, and steel are all good conductors

9. What is an insulator?
It is something that does not conduct heat well

10. What are some good insulators?

Answers may vary. Examples in the video include wood, plastic, and fiberglass

11. How do black materials and white materials absorb heat from radiation
differently?
Black things absorb more radiant heat than do things that are white.
