Pusheen Box – Summer 2017

This post contains affiliate links. Energy Transfer In the last class we talked about energy transferring kinetically from one thing to another. In other words, moving molecules/atoms bump into other molecules/atoms, which causes them to move faster. This results in the matter heating up. Sound energy is transferred kinetically as…
Heat on the Move!
Energy and its Transfer Heat, light, and sound are all forms of energy. One way that energy can be transferred is by moving atoms or molecules touching other atoms/molecules. Heat and sound can be transferred in this way. Heat will move from warmer objects to colder ones until both come…
