Which of the following is NOT a way heat is transferred?

• A) Radiation

• B) Conduction

• C) Reflection

• D) Convection

Radiation is the direct transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves (rays) through space.

• True

• False

What is an example of conduction?

• Feeling the warmth of the sun's rays

• Walking barefoot on hot sand

• A hot air balloon rising

• Water boiling in a pot

Fill in the blank: The transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid such as water or air is called ________.

• convection

• radiation

• insulation

• conduction

What happens to the air inside a hot air balloon as it is heated?

• As the air inside the balloon is heated, the hot air rises, lifting the balloon.

• The air inside the balloon cools down and sinks, causing the balloon to descend.

• The air inside the balloon turns into water vapor, making the balloon heavier.

• The air inside the balloon escapes, causing the balloon to deflate.

What happens to the particles in a metal spoon when it is placed in hot soup?

• The particles vibrate faster as they gain energy.

• The particles stop moving completely.

• The particles shrink and move closer together.

• The particles lose all their energy.
