Heat and Energy

What is the definition of CONVECTION

• When heat transfers through waves.
• When heat transfers from objects that are touching.
• a  hot liquid or air that  expands, becomes less dense, and rises or becomes more dense, and sinks.
• Heat traveling from the sun

What kind of heat transfer happens when the sun is heating your body?

• Conduction
• Radiation
• Convection
• Density

Which of the following is an example of convection?

• A hair dryer is drying up your hair.
• When the AC or heater changes the temperature.
• When a car engine turns hot after being turned on.
• When you are making soup and the water is rising and lowering.

The way the heat is moving from the hot coffee is called...

• convection
• radiation
• insulation
• conduction

This is a lava lamp. When the light bulb heats the wax, the wax rises. When the wax cools, it falls. This cycle of rising/falling is an example of:

• Conduction.
• Convection.
• Radiation.

Warm air rises and the cool air sinks demonstrates this type of heat transfer. 

• conduction
• convection
• radiation
• Insolation 

The baby chickens are kept warm from the heat lamps demonstrates this type of heat transfer. 

• conduction
• convection
• radiation

Walking on the warm sand sand with your bare feet demonstrates this type of heat transfer. 

• conduction
• convection
• radiation

The Gulf Stream is a current that brings warm ocean water from the south to the north. What type of heat transfer is this?

• conduction
• convection
• radiation
• Insolation 

Ironing a shirt is an example of...

• condensation
• conduction
• convection
• radiation
