Here's this week's vocabulary:

Energy: The ability to change something or move it.













Thermal Energy:  Energy from the movement of particles.  We feel thermal energy as heat.
















Conduction:  The transfer of heat energy by one thing touching another.  For example, when you touched the chair let and made it warmer you're seeing an example of conduction.













Conductor:  A material that readily allows heat to move.













Insulator:  A material that inhibits the movement of heat.














Convection Current:  A pattern of flowing heat energy.
