• True

• False

Janey had a bowl of hot soup for lunch. The soup was so hot she decided to put it in the refrigerator for a few minutes to cool it. What happened to cool the soup so Janey could eat it?

• The heat moved from the soup to the cold air in the refrigerator.

• The cold in the refrigerator moved into the hot soup.

• No heat or cold moved out of or into the soup. It just cooled off.
