The above diagram shows an investigation to study a property of materials. After heating the rod at end A, the drawing pin at end B of the metal rod drops earlier than the glass rod. What conclusion can be drawn from this investigation?

The metal rod is a better conductor of heat than a glass rod.

All materials conduct heat equally well.

The metal rod can conduct electricity.

The metal rod is a better insulator of heat.

Materials that transfer energy.

Material that does NOT transfer energy.

Materials that are connected to circuits.

This girl is wearing pink wool earmuffs to keep her ears warm in the snowy weather. Differentiate between conductors and insulators. How does the wool affect heat transfer? (wool is a type of fabric)

The wool is an insulator that keep the girl's ears from loosing heat.

The wool is a conductor that transfers heat from her ears to the wool earmuffs.

The wool is an insulator that provides heat to keep the girl's ears warm.

The wool is a conductor that transfers heat from the girl's earmuffs to her ears.

Which best explains why a hot air balloon rises into the air?

As the air is heated, it becomes less dense and the balloon rises.

As the air is cooled, it becomes more dense and the balloon rises.

As the air is cooled, it becomes less dense and the balloon rises.

As the air is heated, it becomes more dense and the balloon rises.

Some cooking spatulas are made out of plastic. Why are cooking spatulas often made out of plastic?

Because plastic is a poor conductor of heat, and this keeps the handle from getting too hot to touch while cooking.

Because plastic is a good conductor of electricity, and this makes it safe to use while cooking.

Because plastic catches fire very easily when it is used for cooking.

Because plastic is a good conductor of heat, and this keeps the handle from getting too hot to touch while cooking.

The above diagram shows a simple circuit. The metal spoon that is connected to the circuit is replaced with a plastic spoon. What is the aim of this investigation?

To determine which object can conduct electricity

To determine which object can conduct heat

To determine which object can float

To determine which object can allow light to pass through
