Heat Transfer Assessment

Front

What are materials that are good insulators?

Back

Materials like wood, water, straw, and wool are good insulators.

Front

What is convection?

Back

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

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

An insulator is a material that slows down the transfer of heat.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

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

Front

Which statement is NOT true about conduction?

Back

It can transfer energy through empty space.

Front

In which direction does heat flow?

Back

Heat flows from a warmer object to a cooler object.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A conductor is a material that allows heat to pass through it easily.

Front

What is an example of conduction?

Back

An example of conduction is a metal spoon getting hot when placed in a hot soup.

Front

What is the role of the Sun in heat transfer?

Back

The Sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation.

Front

What is radiation?

Back

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