Absolute zero: zero is assigned to the lowest temperature possible on the Kelvin scale.
Bimetallic strip: two strips of different metals welded together into one strip.
Calorie: a unit of heat.
Celsius scale: a temperature scale with the numbers 0 to 100. Zero being the melt-freeze temperature and 100 being the boil-condense temperature of water.
Fahrenheit scale: the common temperature in the US. The number 32 being the freezing point of water and the number 212 being the boiling point of water.
Heat: energy that transfers from one object to another because of a temperature difference.
Internal energy: total of all energies inside a substance.
Kelvin scale: scale used in scientific research is the SI scale.
Kilocalorie: a unit of heat.
Specific heat capacity: quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius.
Temperature: material that tells how warm or cold it is.
Thermal contact: state of two or more objects or substances that's possible for heat to flow from one object/substance to another.
Thermal equilibrium: state of two or more objects/substances in thermal contact when they have reached a common temperature.
Thermostat: type of value that responds to changes in temperature and used to control the temperature of something.
