A(n) _____________ is a device for measuring temperature.

• thermometer
• barometer
• anemometer
• psychrometer 

When thermal energy is added to a substance, the substance's particles move:

• More rapidly at an increased distance from each other.

• More rapidly with less distance between each other.

• More slowly with a greater distance between each other.

• More slowly with a reduced distance between each other.

Heat transfer by conduction occurs when...

• particles bump into each other
• large numbers of atoms move from place to place
• atoms give off heat in the form of electromagnetic waves
• electromagnetic waves travel from place to place through a vacuum
