There are five new vocabulary words for this week. They will be passed out on Monday, and assessed for understanding on Friday. I have attached a word document with the words. Please be aware, there are some extra words regarding light on the word document that your student will not be held accountable for just yet. To avoid confusion, I have also copy and pasted the words here:

· Energy: The ability to do work or change matter. Can be found in many forms.

· Thermal Energy: energy produced by moving particles. The faster the particles move, the more heat is produced.

· Conductor: A substance that allows energy to pass through it easily and freely.

· Insulator: A substance that does not allow energy to pass through it easily. Tends to block energy flow.

· Conduction/Conducting : Occurs when thermal energy travels through an object to another object. For instance, if you touch a hot pan, the pan is transferring (conducting) the heat from the stove to your hand.
