A boy touches a 
stove and gets burned. 
What transfer of heat caused his hand to get burned? 

• conduction
• convection
• radiation
• combustion

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

• The heat from a person’s  hand transfers by  radiation to the ice, causing it to melt. 
• The heat from a person’s  hand transfers by  conduction to the ice, causing it to melt.
• The cool temperature of  the ice transfers by  radiation to a person’s hand, cooling it off. 
• The cool temperature of  the ice transfers by  conduction to a person’s hand, cooling it off.

Which best explains why 
a full glass bottle of water 
should not be stored in a freezer? 

• The temperature of  the freezer will  make the water too cold. 
• Water expands when it  freezes, which could  break  the bottle. 
• Water contracts  when it freezes, which could break the bottle. 
• The temperature of the freezer will not make  the water cold enough.

Why should Ann leave space at the top of her plastic bottle when filling with water and then freezing it overnight?

• Water expands when frozen, so the water will need more space.

• Water contracts when frozen, so the water will need more space.

• Plastic contracts when frozen, so the water will need more space.

• Plastic expands when frozen, so the water will need more space.
