through conduction and the warmer
molecules of my hand is transferring
their energy to the cold ice molecules
causing it to melt.

molecules are in motion unless its at
Absolute Zero. List two facts about this
temp.
• QUESTION: 0K, Coldest possible
Temp, Molecules have no kinetic
energy

14. QuestionAnswer
C-200
• ANSWER: What is the Kinetic Particle
Theory about?
• QUESTION: All molecules (solids,
liquids and gases) are constantly
moving.

15. QuestionAnswer
C-300
• ANSWER: When heat is added to
liquid molecules, describe two changes
that occurs.
• QUESTION:
1. Molecules increase kinetic energy
2. Molecules move apart and expand
3. The liquid turns into a gas

16. QuestionAnswer
C-400
• ANSWER: Which cup has more
kinetic energy and why? A cup of
70o coffee or a cup of 90o milk?
• QUESTION: 90 degree milk
because it has more thermal energy
causing the molecules to move
faster.
