5.P.3.1 Conduction, Convection, and Radiation

Front

Which is the best
example of
heat transfer
through radiation? Options: heating soup in a pot on the stove, standing by a campfire to get warm on a chilly night, burning your hand when touching a hot pan on the stove, not getting burned when touching a wooden spoon that has been in a hot pan

Back

standing by a campfire to get warm on a chilly night

Front

Which best describes the flow of heat? Options: from a larger object to a smaller object until the energy is gone, from a warmer object to a cooler object until the energy is gone, from a warmer object to a cooler object until the heat has balanced, from a cooler object to a warmer object until the heat has balanced

Back

from a warmer object to a cooler object until the heat has balanced

Front

Which shows an example of convection? Options: Jose cooks an egg in a pot of boiling water., Clara burns her hand by touching a light bulb., Lucy wraps herself in an electric blanket to keep warm., Ben holds the end of a metal rod in fire to cook hot dogs.

Back

Front

Which is the best example 
of conduction?  Options: boiling a pot of water, feeling heat from a fireplace , a hot air balloon rising and falling , touching a hot  handle and  getting burned

Back

stove and gets burned.
What transfer of heat caused his hand to get burned?

Back

conduction

Front

Which best explains how ice melts in a person’s hand?

Back

The heat from a person’s hand transfers by conduction to the ice, causing it to melt.

Front

How does heat energy from the sun reach Earth?

Back

radiation
