Mrs. Warren’s class is learning about heat transfer. Her class observes a pot of boiling water and describes the process. The students note that as the water at the bottom heats up, it rises. The cool water at the top falls, and the cycle continues. Which best describes the process the students are observing?

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

• transformation

A student is trying to open a jar with a metal lid. The lid of the jar is very tight, and the student is not able to open it. The student puts the jar and lid under hot water, and then attempts to open it. The lid easily opens. Which best explains why the lid was easy to open after putting it under hot water?

• The hot water melted the glue that was holding the lid shut, making it easier to open.

• The hot water expanded the metal lid of the jar, making it easier to open.

• The hot water caused the jar to contract, making the lid easier to open.

• The hot water made it easier for the student to get a grip on the jar, so it was easier to open.

Tommy wanted to know what would happen if he cooled and heated different materials in the kitchen. He weighed out equal masses of water, salt, oil, and butter. He recorded the beginning properties of each material. Tommy placed one set of samples in a freezer for one hour. He placed the other samples on a hot plate over low heat for five minutes. He recorded his observations in the table below.

• Heating and cooling only change the properties of liquids.

• Heating and cooling have the same effects on all materials.

• Heating and cooling never affect the state of matter of solids.

• Heating and cooling affect different materials in different ways.
