Conduction, Convection, and Radiation

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 describes what can happen as a result of radiation?

•  A piece of wood burns in a fire.
• A shirt is hot after having been  ironed.
• A can of soup is heated in a pot on a stove.
• A car’s inside temperature rises  to over 100 degrees on a sunny day.

Which best describes the process of convection?

• Convection is the primary way  heat travels  through rays.
• Convection is the primary way heat travels  through metals.
• Convection is the primary way heat travels  through appliances.
• Convection is the primary way heat travels  through liquids and gasses.

How is heat transferred when boiling a pot of water on the stove?

• conduction
• convection
• combustion
• radiation

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 CONDUCTION?

• When heat is transferred from objects like rays of light or electromagnetically.
• a  hot liquid or air that  expands, becomes less dense, and rises or becomes more dense, and sinks.
• When heat transfers from objects that are touching.
• When heat transfers through the heater or AC in your house.

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

• convection
• radiation
• insulation
• conduction
