Thermal Energy

Radiation is

• energy that comes from touching something

• energy you usually find in water

• energy that comes as wavelengths (like light) from something

• energy that moves the wax in a lava lamp

We used aluminum foil to ___________ radiation into our solar ovens.

• absorb

• reflect

• greenhouse

• heat

______________ is the transfer of energy by touching

• Kinetic energy

• Radiation

• Conduction

• Convection

What is the definition of the Greenhouse Effect? (Ariana Medina - edited)

• energy that reflects off glass

• energy that is trapped by the earth

• energy that bounces (reflects) off the earth

• energy goes into a space and gets trapped

In the lava lamp, the wax blobs went up, then back down. This was because of ______________.

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

• electricity

Kinetic energy is energy based on ________________

We should always take the temperature of outside ambient air:

• in the sun

• indoors

• in the shade

• in our solar oven

If you are at the beach, and you get sunburned, it is because of solar ________________

• absorption

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

If we compare our earth to the lava lamp, we can see how the movement of heat in the center of our earth is like the wax in the lava lamp. This movement of heat is:

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

• solar
