• Metal

• Glass

In the experiment with hot and cold water, what is transferred from the hot water to the cold water?

• Heat

• Particles

• Energy

• Matter

What causes convection currents in a room heated by an electric heater?

• Differences in air density

• Differences in air volume

• Differences in air pressure

• Differences in air humidity

Why does warm air rise in a room?

• It becomes more dense

• It becomes less dense

• It becomes heavier

• It becomes lighter

How is heat transferred by radiation?

• By electromagnetic waves

• Through the movement of fluids

• By conduction

• Through direct contact

Why can we feel the heat of the Sun even though it is far away?

• Because of conduction

• Because of convection

• Because of radiation

• Because of reflection
