Thermal/Heat Energy Transfer

Identify the energies associated with the sun.

• Sound and chemical

• light and heat

• Mechanical and electrical

_____________________ is how heat transfers through direct contact with objects that are touching.

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

________________ is the transfer of thermal energy by particles moving through fluids; liquids and gases are fluids. One natural example of ______________ currents is wind.

________________ is how heat travels through empty space and does not require molecules to travel through. Any time you can feel heat without touching it, you are experiencing _____________.

• radiation

• conduction

• convection

You and your family are sitting around a campfire. You can feel the heat on your face, even when you back your seat away from the fire. The heat energy from the fire warms your face through:

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

Choose the example that BEST represents CONVECTION.

• Getting a sunburn

• Inflating a hot air balloon

• A microwave oven

• Grilling hamburgers over a charcoal flame

During Spring Break, I went to Mexico Beach, Florida. I was walking barefoot on the soft, cool grass, but when I got to the sand, I noticed that my feet were burning! Ouch! This is an example of _________________.

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

During Spring Break, at Mexico Beach, I also got a terrible sunburn! Ouch! This is an example of ________________.

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

Mrs. Tully's class was investigating the heat flow with warmer objects and colder objects. Sawyer and Brody decided to observe what happened when ice cubes were placed in the palm of their hands. After a few minutes of holding the ice cubes in their hands, the ice cubes began to melt. Then the boys began to complain that their palms were freezing. Mrs. Tully told Sawyer and Brody to put their ice cubes away and write a conclusion based on their observations. Using what you know about heat transfer, choose the BEST conclusion statement for their investigation.

• The heat from the palms of their hands transferred to the ice cubes.

• The ice cubes evaporated, changing from a liquid to a gas.

• There was no change in the ice cubes - they remained solids.

• The cold from the ice cubes turned the palms of their hands red.
