ELL Test Heat Transfer

Front

What are the three ways that heat is transferred?

Back

Radiation, conduction, and convection.

Front

True or False: Heat can only be transferred through conduction.

Back

False. Heat can be transferred through radiation, conduction, and convection.

Front

What happens to a hot metal spoon placed in cold ice cream?

Back

The heat from the spoon is conducted into the ice cream, causing the ice cream to melt slightly.

Front

What causes the flow of energy from warmer places to cooler places?

Back

The difference in temperature.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).

Front

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves.

Front

In which part of a diagram would you typically find conduction?

Back

Part A (or specify the part based on the diagram).

Front

What is an example of conduction in everyday life?

Back

Touching a hot stove and feeling the heat transfer to your hand.

Front

What is an example of convection in everyday life?

Back

Boiling water where the hot water rises and cooler water sinks.
