Kayla has a wooden rod, a steel rod, and a glass rod. How could she compare the materials to find out which transfers thermal energy BEST?
Submerge each rod in ice water to find out which loses the most heat.
Place the three rods in a freezer to find out which becomes the coldest.
Place one end of each rod in very hot water to find out which becomes hot the fastest.
Place the rods on a table in a warm room and find out which feels warmest after a period of time.
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
Which processes occur when a pot of water placed on a hot stove causes the water to boil?
The pot heats because of conduction, and radiation causes movement of the water.
The pot heats because of radiation, and convection causes movement of the water.
The pot heats because of conduction, and convection causes movement of the water.
The pot heats because of convection, and conduction causes movement of the water.
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 causes surface water in a lake to heat up during the hot summer?
conduction
convection
evaporation
radiation
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.
Both spoons will quickly become hot because heat transfers through all materials equally.
The metal spoon gets hot sooner because heat transfers more easily through metal than wood.
The wooden spoon gets hot sooner because heat transfers more easily through wood than metal.
Which best explains why a metal ice cream scoop works more efficiently than a plastic ice cream scoop when dipped in warm water prior to scooping the ice cream?
The metal heats more quickly than the plastic.
The plastic heats more quickly than the metal.
The metal insulates against heat.
The plastic conducts heat.
This illustration shows how heat can move through the atmosphere as air circulates.
What causes the circulation of air?
Air in the atmosphere is heated by the Sun and sinks to the ground.
The ground is heated by the Sun and then heats the air, causing the air to rise
Air loses heat to the ground and then rises upward to obtain more energy.
The Sun heats the clouds which forces the cooler air to move away and sink
An engineer can choose from four different materials to make a heat-resistant handle for a stirring spoon. Which material is LEAST likely to get hot when the spoon is placed in boiling water?
Ceramic
Wood
Glass
Iron
What happens to metal railroad tracks during the heat of a summer day?
decrease in weight
increase in weight
decrease in length
increase in length
