Luciana notices that the air in her science classroom is much warmer than the air in her math classroom. Which describes how the air particles are different in her colder math classroom?

• The air particles in the math classroom have higher kinetic energy.

• The air particles in the math classroom have lower kinetic energy.

• The air particles in the math classroom have more mass.

• The air particles in the math classroom have less mass.

• Both have high thermal energy.

• Both have low thermal energy.

• Both have high heat capacity.

• Both have low heat capacity.

A trip to the beach on a nice, sunny day involves thermal energy, heat, and temperature. Which statement uses the three related terms correctly?

• Thermal energy is the measure of heat transfer between objects.

• Heat is the measure of thermal energy in an object.

• Temperature is the measure of heat transfer between objects.

Bonita is preparing dinner for her family, and heat is transferred during several stages of the preparation. Which step involves transferring heat by convection?

• Boiling water on the stove

• Baking a cake in the oven

• Grilling meat on a barbecue

• Melting butter in a microwave

In a heat wave in June 2017, temperatures in some southwestern U.S. states reached 49°C (120°F). To help cope with these high temperatures, some residents wrapped their outside metal door handles in cloth. How did this help the situation?

• Cloth is a good conductor of heat, so it absorbed the excess heat.

• Cloth is a good insulator of heat, so it reduced the heat transfer.

• Cloth is a good radiator of heat, so it dissipated the heat.

• Cloth is a good reflector of heat, so it redirected the heat.

Which form of heat transfer is responsible for weather patterns and storm systems?

• Conduction

• Convection

• Radiation

• Evaporation
