Jordan places a hot spoon into a container of ice cream. How does this help her scoop out the ice cream?

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

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

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

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

Which will most likely occur when raw egg is placed on black pavement on a hot, summer day?

• The pavement will conduct the heat and cook the egg.

• The egg will reflect the heat and make the pavement hotter underneath.

• The egg will absorb the heat and leave the pavement hotter underneath.

• The pavement will absorb the heat from the egg, and the egg will stay raw.
