1. Topic: Thermal Energy Essential Question: How is thermal energy transferred?

2. Topic: Thermal Energy Essential Question: How is thermal energy transferred? Heat can be transferred from matter or parts of matter. Heat is always transferred from the warmer object to the cooler object.

3. Topic: Thermal Energy Essential Question: How is thermal energy transferred? Conduction happens when two objects touch each other. Something cooler has to touch something warmer for heat to transfer. OUCH!!!

4. Topic: Thermal Energy Essential Question: How is thermal energy transferred? Convection is the transfer of heat in currents of gas or liquids of different temperatures. Convection causes circular (goes around) motion of liquids/gas

5. Topic: Thermal Energy Essential Question: How is thermal energy transferred? Radiation is the transfer of heat through empty space.

6. Topic: Thermal Energy Essential Question: How is thermal energy transferred? Thermal energy (Heat) will continue to move from one object to another until all objects have reached the same temperature. Thermal equilibrium (balance)

7. Topic: Thermal Energy Essential Question: How is thermal energy transferred? Materials that easily transfer thermal energy are called conductors.

8. Topic: Thermal Energy Essential Question: How is thermal energy transferred? Objects that do not easily transfer heat are insulators
