The heat from a lamp allows a lizard to remain warm. This is an example of which type of heat transfer?

• radiation
• conduction
• convection
• insulation

Jordan places a hot spoon into a container of ice cream. How does this help him scoop  out the ice cream? 

• The coolness from the ice cream is conducted to the spoon making it easier to scoop out.
• The coolness from the ice cream is radiated to the spoon making it easier to scoop out.
• The warmth of the spoon is conducted to the ice cream  making it easier to scoop out.
• The warmth of the spoon is radiated  to the ice cream making it easier to scoop out.

Which is an example of heat being transferred by conduction?

• a furnace heating the air in a school
• an ice cube melting in a person’s hand
• a pot of water on a stove boiling
• the sun heating water in a swimming pool

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
