Students built a solar oven using the basic design shown in the picture. To cook the marshmallows slowly the solar ovens capture energy from the Sun.

Each group used a different type of materials to build their ovens. After 1 hour in the sunlight, the teams measured the temperature of each oven. What a was the independent variable in this experiment?

• The different type of material

• The type of energy to cook the Marshmallows

• The time in the sunlight

• The design of the solar oven

How does the thermal energy of the liquid in the larger beaker compare to the thermal energy of the liquid in the smaller beaker?

• The liquid in the larger beaker has less thermal energy than the liquid in the smaller beaker.

• The liquid in the larger beaker has more thermal energy than the liquid in the smaller beaker.

• The liquid in the larger beaker has the same amount of thermal energy as the liquid in the smaller beaker.

• The exact volume of the liquid in each beaker must be known to compare the thermal energy of the liquids.

Heat

• The total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles in an object.

• Energy that is transferred from a warmer object to a cooler object.

• A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

• The heating of a substance that causes its particles to move more quickly.
