Multiple Choice

Heat transfers from ___________.

• hotter part to the colder part

• colder part to the hotter part

​Heat transfer from the hotter part to the colder part.

We know that metals are good conductors of heat!

They can help transfer heat quickly!​

​

Non-metals are poor conductors of heat!

They transfer heat slowly!​ Then why not use it to trap heat?

This can help us keep warm!​

​

Multiple Choice

Good conductors _______ heat easily.

• transfer

• do not transfer

Multiple Choice

Poor conductors _______ heat easily.

• transfer

• do not transfer

Good conductors gains heat quickly but loses heat quickly as well!!!

The metal cup is a good conductor of heat.

It takes the heat away from the hot tea quickly!!!!

AND...

The metal cup then loses the heat to the surroundings quickly as well.

SO...

The hot cup of tea becomes cold quickly.​

Which of the following explains this?

​

A. The spoon loses heat to the ice cream.

B. The ice cream loses heat to the spoon.

C. The spoon gains heat from the ice cream.​

D. The ice cream loses heat to the surroundings.​

Ronald places a metal spoon in a bowl of ice cream as shown

​The ice cream is NOT hot. How can it lose heat? How can ice cream losing heat makes the spoon cold?

How can the spoon gaining heat makes it colder?

​The ice cream is NOT hot. How can it lose heat? How can ice cream losing heat makes the spoon cold?

​Conclusion: Spoon losing heat = becomes cold

Multiple Choice

The spoon becomes colder after a while because...

• The spoon loses heat to the ice cream.

• The ice cream loses heat to the ice cream.

• The spoon gains heat from the ice cream.

• The ice cream loses heat to the surroundings.

Multiple Choice

Which one of the following rods is the best conductor of heat?

• Rod A

• Rod B

• Rod C

• Rod D

Multiple Choice

Based on the result, which material of the rod would you choose to make a lunch box that can help keep the food warm?

• Rod A

• Rod B

• Rod C

• Rod D

​Rod D showed a material that is a poor conductor of heat. Thus, it can trap heat better than a good conductor of heat!

Fill in the Blanks

Mr Victor heated a metal bar under high temperature and found that it could not fit into the metal gauge. Explain what happened to the metal bar after being heated.

Fill in the Blanks

Yes, metals expand when heated. They

when cooled though.

Mr Victor conducted another experiment using three different materials, A B and C. He heated the materials to 50°C. He wanted to find out the change in temperature of the materials after he had stopped heating.
