Which causes surface water in a lake to heat up during the hot summer?
conduction
convection
evaporation
radiation
Which best describes heat transfer due to convection
It occurs with direct contact.
It occurs only during the day.
It occurs with movement of a fluid.
It occurs only when something is burning.
Which best describes an example of heat transfer through radiation?
getting warm in front of a portable heater
burning your finger on a curling iron
ironing a dress shirt and tie
cooking soup on the stove
Sam went to a park on a hot summer day. He wanted to slide down the steel slide but realized it was too hot. Which statement explains why the slide was hot?
Heat was transferred to the slide by radiation.
Heat was transferred to the slide by convection.
Heat was transferred to the slide by conduction.
Heat was transferred to the slide by transpiration.
Which best describes how heat moves from one solid to another solid?
through conduction
through convection
through insulation
through radiation
Which best explains how a fluid is heated?
by radiation
by respiration
by convection
by conduction
Which container will be less likely to feel cold on the outside when filled with ice?
a foam cup
a glass cup
a metal cup
a paper cup
When a warm plate is placed onto a cool counter, which most likely occurs?
The plate gains heat and the countertop gains heat.
The plate loses heat and the countertop gains heat.
The plate gains heat and the countertop loses heat.
The plate loses heat and the countertop loses heat.
Why does ice cream placed in a plastic cooler melt slower than ice cream placed in a metal pot?
because metal is a better insulator than plastic
because metal insulates against more heat
because plastic is a better insulator than metal
because plastic conducts more heat
Why do asphalt streets often have cracks in them?
because asphalt is a good conductor of heat
because asphalt expands when heated and contracts when cooled
because asphalt is an insulator that helps keep heat from escaping
because asphalt contracts when heated and expands when cooled
Which best describes an example of radiation?
ice melting in the sunshine
a boy burning his hand on a hot stove
a metal spoon warming from being in hot soup
cold water moving toward the bottom of the ocean
How do a wooden spoon and a metal spoon react when placed into a pot of hot soup?
Neither spoon gets hot because heat does not transfer through metal or wood.
The metal spoon gets hot sooner because heat transfers more easily through metal than wood.
Both spoons will quickly become hot because heat transfers through all materials equally.
The wooden spoon gets hot sooner because heat transfers more easily through wood than metal.
Which best describes an example of conduction
an ice cube melting in a cup of hot chocolate
a heater warming a room
water boiling in a pot on a stove
cold water moving toward the bottom of a swimming pool
Sam is cooking an egg in a pan on the stove. Which causes the metal pan to become hot?
conduction
convection
evaporation
radiation
Ice cream is left in a car on a sunny winter’s day. The air temperature outside only reaches 30°F, but the ice cream still melts. Which best explains why the ice cream melts even though the air temperature is below freezing?
Heat is transferred to the car through conduction
Sunlight is absorbed through the glass and then radiated as heat.
Heat is transferred to the car through evaporation.
Sunlight is absorbed through transpiration causing heat.
