conduction The transfer of heat through a material without the movement of the
material itself.


convection The transfer of heat by the movement of fluids.


radiation The transfer of energy through space by electromagnetic waves.


specific heat The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a
substance by one degree Celsius.


conductor A material that allows heat to flow through it easily.


insulator A material that does not allow heat to flow through it easily.


thermometric property A property of a substance that changes with temperature and can be used
to measure temperature.


absolute zero The lowest possible temperature, 0 Kelvins or -273°C, where all molecular
motion stops.

law of conservation of energy The principle that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only
transformed from one form to another.


urban heat island effect The phenomenon where urban areas experience higher temperatures than
their rural surroundings.


temperature scales Systems for measuring temperature, including Fahrenheit, Celsius, and
Kelvin.
