3. Heat can be described as the transfer or flow of energy from a _______ object to one that is _______.
When you feel a warm object, you are actually feeling thermal energy, which is the movement of
molecules that make up the object. An object has more thermal energy when it is warm than when it is
cool. Heat is a process, and therefore, should not be used as a noun. Based on this description, use heat

Matter Flip Book Guardian & Teacher Evaluation Sheet
Directions: Students will make a Flip Book that demonstrates the key concepts related to Matter. Like past flipbooks, students are
asked to evaluate the work. A missing evaluation sheet is an automatic 3 Point deduction. Evaluation Sheets without a Parent
Signature or evaluation is an automatic 2 point deduction!
