What do we call a force between two objects that slows the objects and produces heat? ______________________
Friction
What do we call an object that doesn’t conduct heat well? ________________________
Insulator
What do we call an object that heat can move through easily? _____________________
Conductor
What do we call thermal energy that moves without touching anything? ___________________________
Radiation
What do we call it when thermal energy from a heat source warms up the air molecules around it and the hot air rises because the molecules are less dense? The cold air around it is pushed out and down and a cycle or current begins to flow and transfer heat. ___________________
