Multiple Choice

Which will most likely occur when raw egg is placed on black pavement on a hot, summer day?
1
The pavement will conduct the heat and cook the egg.
2
The egg will reflect the heat and make the pavement hotter underneath.
3
The egg will absorb the heat  and leave the pavement hotter underneath.
4
The pavement will absorb the heat from the egg, and the egg will stay raw.

74

Multiple Choice

Scoopy McScooperson places a hot spoon into a container of ice cream. How does this help him scoop  out the ice cream? 

1

The coolness from the ice cream is conducted to the spoon making it easier to scoop out.

2

The coolness from the ice cream is radiated to the spoon making it easier to scoop out.

3

The warmth of the spoon is conducted to the ice cream  making it easier to scoop out.

4

The warmth of the spoon is radiated  to the ice cream making it easier to scoop out.

Heat transfers through waves/rays

Liquid (or air) heats up, speeds up and spreads out, becoming less dense. As it rises, it cools, slows, and comes back together. This increases density, making it sink again.

Heat transfers from objects that are touching.
