Lesson 1: Types of Energy Transfer

thermal energy

• a type of energy produced by vibrations of matter

• the movement of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object

• the transfer of thermal energy between two objects that are touching

• a material that slows or stops the flow of energy, such as thermal energy, electricity, and sound

conduction

• the transfer of thermal energy between two objects that are touching

• the transfer of thermal energy by flowing gases or liquid, such as the rising of warm air from a heater

• the transfer of energy through space

• a material through which heat or electricity flows easily

• convection
