Particle Theory

                                - All substances are made of tiny particles.

                                - The particles are always in motion.

                                - Adding energy causes the particles to move faster.

Thermal effects on matter

                - Expansion and Contraction

                - Heat Capacity

                - Changes of State

How the particle theory can explain changes of state.

Energy Transfer Systems

- Radiation, Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR)

There are many different forms of EMR.

                - radio waves

                - microwaves

                - visible light

                - X rays.

Analyzing Energy Transfer Systems

 - Energy Source, Direction of energy transfer, Energy transformations, Control Systems, and Waste Heat.

Warm and Cold Blooded Animals

- Differences in how they work.

Draw and label the following angles: 30, 125, 15, 90, 195, 160
