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.

How does a greenhouse help a gardener grow plants during a cool season?

• The glass transmits light into the greenhouse but it slows the transfer of thermal energy out of the

  greenhouse.

• The glass panels transfer thermal energy into the greenhouse but they do not transfer thermal

  energy out.

• The greenhouse converts light energy into thermal energy so the plants grow faster.

• The glass blocks the flow of all types of energy into or out of the greenhouse.

Although the heat source is at the bottom of the beaker, all of the water is the same temperature.

What keeps the water at the top of the beaker the same temperature as that of the bottom?

• Heat from the burner radiates through the liquid and causes even heating.

• Evaporation heats the water at the top and the flame heats the water at the bottom.

• The walls of the beaker reflect heat toward the center, so the water heats evenly.

• Heated water molecules and steam rise in the beaker, carrying heat by convection.

• 0°C

• between 0°C and 28°C

• 28°C

• greater than 28°C

This illustration shows how heat can move through the atmosphere as air circulates.

What causes the circulation of air?

• Air in the atmosphere is heated by the Sun and sinks to the ground.

• The ground is heated by the Sun and then heats the air, causing the air to rise.

• Air loses heat to the ground and then rises upward to obtain more energy.

• The Sun heats the clouds which forces the cooler air to move away and sink.

What causes your skin to feel warm when it is in the sun on a summer day?

• Particles in the atmosphere reflect energy from the Sun downward.

• Hot particles from the Sun still carry some heat when they reach your skin.

• The solar wind carries heated air from the Sun’s atmosphere to Earth’s surface.

• The Sun radiates energy that passes through space and the atmosphere to your skin.

Kayla has a wooden rod, a steel rod, and a glass rod. How could she compare the materials to find out which transfers thermal energy BEST?

• Submerge each rod in ice water to find out which loses the most heat.

• Place the three rods in a freezer to find out which becomes the coldest.

• Place one end of each rod in very hot water to find out which becomes hot the fastest.

• Place the rods on a table in a warm room and find out which feels warmest after a period of time.

On very hot days, animals will often find a patch of dirt on the ground to lay in to keep cool. Which best explains how laying on the ground and dirt keeps the animal cool?

• The coolness from the ground is transferred to the animals body, lowering the

  animals body temperature.

• Dirt on the ground protects the animal from the heat in the air, lowering the animal's

  body temperature.

• The animal's body temperature does not change, but the dirt makes the animal feel

  cooler.

• Heat from the animals body is transferred to the ground, lowering the animal's body

  temperature.
