Convection Conduction Radiation Lesson

How does heat move?

• In many directions

• from warm places to cooler places

• from cold places to warm places

• Both B and C

If you burn your hand on the handle of a hot pot, heat was transferred to your skin by

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

• equilibrium

What type of energy transfer occurs when hot water flows through cool water?

• insulation

• radiation

• conduction

• convection

The transfer of energy by waves or particles is called

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

• insulation

What type of heat transfer is occurring in the picture below? (the pan is touching the burner)

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

• insulation

A material that reduces the flow of heat is a(n)

• conductor

• insulator

• metal

• radiator

All of the following are good conductors of heat EXCEPT

• Copper

• Iron

• Plastic

• Aluminum

What is the term that refers to a material being a poor conductor of heat?

• Insulator

• conductor

• Convector

• Radiator

Energy from the Sun travels to Earth as

• Conduction

• Convection

• Insulation

• Radiation

What causes hot and cold water to become the same temperature once they are combined?

• The heat moves from cooler temperature to warmer temperature.

• The energy of the hot water runs out.

• Heat (thermal) energy from the hot water is transferred to the cold water.

• Heat (thermal) energy causes the water to boil.
