Ethan, Kaliyah, and Bradley are planning a picnic and want to keep their drinks cold. They're discussing which materials would be best to RESIST the flow of heat or thermal energy to keep their drinks cold. Can you help them out?
Conductors
Insulators
Ethan, Mery, and Megan are discussing their science project on metals. Ethan argues that a metal spoon heats up quickly in a hot soup because metal is a great conductor of heat. Is Ethan correct?
True
False

True
False
Aubrey, Bradley, and Megan are discussing over a cup of hot chocolate. According to them, which particles in the hot chocolate move the FASTEST and have more thermal energy?
Cold Particles
Hot Particles
During a physics project, Aubrey, AntD., and Isaiah were discussing the concept of energy. They came to a consensus that energy is the ability to cause a car's engine to:
Transform into a Pokemon
Remain in its original state
Undergo changes
Isaiah, Bradley, and Kaliyah are working on a science project about electricity. They are discussing about different materials and their properties. Suddenly, An asks a question: Which of the following is NOT an insulator?
Wool
Plastic
Copper
Glass
Kaliyah, Mila, and Vance are playing a game in their science class. They are trying to find objects in the classroom that electricity can't move through. They refer to these objects as a(n) ______.
conductor
wire
textbook
insulator
Gio, Mila, and Alex are at a playground. They found a rubber tire swing and started wondering if rubber is an insulator. What do you think?
true
false
Mery, Aubrey, and An are working on a science project about electricity. They are wondering why they should use copper wires for their project. Can you explain to them?
Because copper is shiny
Because copper conducts electricity
Because copper is not magnetic
Bradley, An, and Isaiah are discussing the properties of glass. Bradley says that glass is an insulator, while An thinks it's a conductor. Who is correct?
Bradley (Insulator)
An (Conductor)
An, Gio, and Aubrey are at the beach for a picnic. They notice that their electronic devices are not working properly near the ocean. They wonder if salt water is an insulator or a conductor. What do you think?
Insulator
Conductor
Gio, Kaliyah, AntD., Bradley, and An are designing a thermos for their school project. They need to choose the right material for the inner layer of the thermos. Which material should they use as an insulator?
a material that slows the transfer of heat
a material that transfers heat easily
a material that is fluffy
a material that is temperature controlled
Kaliyah, Gio, and Isaiah are discussing which material would be the best conductor of thermal energy while cooking. Kaliyah thinks a wooden spoon would be the best, Gio believes a wool oven mitt would be the most effective, and Isaiah argues that a metal pan would be the best conductor. Who is correct?
Kaliyah: A wooden spoon
Gio: A wool oven mitt
Someone else: A plastic spatula
Isaiah: A metal pan
On a cold winter day, Megan, Ethan, and Isaiah decide to have a snowball fight. What would be a good example of an item they should wear to stay warm?
Insulator like a jacket
Investigator's hat
Conductor's baton
Interrogator's badge
Bradley, Isaiah, and Ethan are discussing the properties of different materials. Bradley thinks a conductor is a material that slows the transfer of heat, Isaiah believes it's a material that is fluffy, and Ethan argues it's a material that transfers heat easily. Who is correct?
Bradley - a material that slows the transfer of heat
Ethan - a material that transfers heat easily
Isaiah - a material that is fluffy
None of them
Mila, Ethan, and Gio are discussing why metals are used in electrical wires. Mila believes it's because metals do not bend easily. Ethan thinks it's because metals can hold a lot of heat. Gio, on the other hand, believes it's because metals are good conductors of electricity. Who is correct?
Mila
Ethan
Gio
None of them
Imagine Kaliyah, Aubrey, and Ethan are molecules in a cup of water. If we heat the cup of water, what do you think would happen to our little friends?
They would start moving slower
They would freeze in place
They would start dancing around faster
Nothing would happen to them
