  • Heat and light are both forms of _____.
    Heat and light are both forms of radiant energy.
  •  10
  • What are the two types of light?
    Natural and artificial

  • What is an example of a natural source of light?
    The sun
  •  10
  • What is an example of an artificial source of light?
    Light bulb, computer screen, watch, lamp, fire

  • How are temperature and heat different?
    Temperature tells us how hot an object is. Heat is how much thermal energy an object has.
  •  10
  • How can thermal energy affect objects?
    It can cause them to expand or move, and it can change the state of an object (for example, changing a solid to a liquid).

  • ________ is when two objects are touching and heat is transferred from one object to the other.
    Conduction is when two objects are touching and heat is transferred from one object to the other.

  • ______ is when thermal energy is transferred through space by electromagnetic waves.
    Radiation is when thermal energy is transferred through space by electromagnetic waves.
  •  10
  • Give an example of radiation
    Thermal energy from the Sun is transferred to the Earth
  •  10
  • A _______ is a material or object that transfers thermal energy easily.
    A conductor is a material or object that transfers thermal energy easily.
  •  10
  • Give an example of a conductor
    A metal frying pan
