Temperature Vocabulary Definitions 

• Temperature- the average kinetic energy of the particles that make up a material
• Average Kinetic Energy- the average kinetic energy in in a material
• Molecule- a group  of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound
• State of Matter- is one of the four distinct forms that matter take on
• Liquid- is a substance with a definite volume but not a definite shape.
• Gas- is a substance that does not have a definite volume or shape.
• Solid- is a substance with a definite volume and shape. Particles are close together and do not move freely.
• Melting Point-The process in which a solid becomes a liquid
• Boling Point- the temperature at which a liquid boils and turns into vapor
• Freezing Point-When temperatures of a liquid are lowered, causing a solid to form.
  
• Law of Conservation of Energy- Energy cannot be created nor destroyed only transformed

Students will watch the following and create Cornell notes:
