Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

The total kinetic energy of particles in a substance.

What is an insulator?

Back

A material that does not conduct heat well.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

The transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is convection?

Back

The transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids and gases).
