Which causes surface water in a lake to heat up during the hot summer?

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

• evaporation

How does the sun warm a person’s face?

• evaporation

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

Which best describes heat transfer due to convection?

• It occurs with direct contact.

• It occurs only during the day.

• It occurs with movement of a fluid.

• It occurs only when something is burning.

Sam went to a park on a hot summer day. He wanted to slide down the steel slide but realized it was too hot. Which statement explains why the slide was hot?

• Heat was transferred to the slide by radiation.

• Heat was transferred to the slide by convection.

• Heat was transferred to the slide by conduction.

• Heat was transferred to the slide by transpiration.

Which processes occur when a pot of water placed on a hot stove causes the water to boil?

• The pot heats because of conduction, and radiation causes movement of the water.

• The pot heats because of radiation, and convection causes movement of the water.

• The pot heats because of conduction, and convection causes movement of the water.

• The pot heats because of convection, and conduction causes movement of the water.

When a warm plate is placed onto a cool counter, which most likely occurs?

• The plate gains heat and the countertop gains heat.

• The plate loses heat and the countertop gains heat.

• The plate gains heat and the countertop loses heat.

• The plate loses heat and the countertop loses heat.

Which best describes how heat moves from one solid to another solid?

• conduction

• convection

• insulation

• radiation

Which best describes an example of conduction?

• a heater warming a room

• water boiling in a pot on a stove

• an ice cube melting in a cup of hot chocolate

• cold water moving toward the bottom of a swimming pool

Sandra washed her hair. She dried it with warm air from a blow dryer before going to school.

Which statement BEST explains why the blow dryer was able to dry Sandra’s hair quickly?

• The blow dryer used electricity.

• The blow dryer transferred heat.

• The blow dryer created sound waves.

• The blow dryer used mechanical energy

Ice cream is left in a car on a sunny winter’s day. The air temperature outside only reaches 30°F, but the ice cream still melts. Which best explains why the ice cream melts even though the air temperature is below freezing?

• Heat is transferred to the car through conduction.

• Heat is transferred to the car through evaporation.

• Sunlight is absorbed through transpiration causing heat.

• Sunlight is absorbed through the glass and then radiated as heat.
