1.

When we put the food color into the hot, cold and room temp. water, the color spread most quickly and evenly in...

a)

the HOT water because the molecules are moving FASTER and spread out (mix) the color quicker

b)

the HOT water because the molecules are moving SLOWER so the molecules don't get in the way of the color as much allowing it to spread out

c)

the COLD water because the water is naturally blue and the color we used was also blue

d)

the ROOM TEMP. water because the molecules move FASTER so the molecules don't get in the way of the color as much allowing it to spread out

2.

The candy's color dissolved quicker in

a)

hot water

b)

lukewarm water

c)

room temperature water

d)

cold water

3.

In the Waterbath Lab, where we put one sealed container inside another one we learned that the water temperatures in both the inside and the outside container will become the same temperature eventually, regardless of the initial temperatures in the two containers (cups).

a)

TRUE

b)

FALSE

4.

In his experiment, James Joule discovered that

a)

moving the water quickly makes the water colder because the paddles that turn the water take energy away from the water

b)

moving the water quickly makes the water warmer because the paddles make the water particles move faster and therefore warmer

c)

hot water makes the paddles turn faster

d)

cold water makes the paddles turn slower

5.

One thing that our computer model did NOT demonstrate is that

a)

molecules move at different speeds based on their temperature and energy level

b)

molecules with lots of energy transfer their energy to molecules with less energy

c)

molecules in a solid material are still able to move

d)

molecules in a gas at a certain temperature (for example at 150°C) all move at the same speed and have the same amount of energy

6.

The faster a molecule moves, the less Kinetic energy it has

a)

TRUE

b)

FALSE

7.

In our computer particle models, when particle A that has lots of energy hits particle B with less energy, what happens?

a)

Particle B with less energy will slow down because it gave its energy to particle A

b)

Particle B with less energy will speed up because it received energy from particle A

c)

Particle A with lots of energy will slow down because it received energy from particle B

d)

Particle A will speed up because it received energy from particle B

8.

What do solids have that gases do not?

a)

Shape

b)

More heat/energy

c)

Volume

d)

Less heat/energy

9.

An object whose particles are moving really slowly would be very...

a)

hot

b)

cold

c)

excited

d)

frozen

10.

If you grab a metal handrail that is very cold, energy moves from

a)

the metal handrail to your hand

b)

your hand to the metal handrail

c)

energy cannot transfer from one solid object to another solid object

11.

energy of motion

a)

thermal energy

b)

sondensation

c)

water vapor

d)

kinetic enetgy

12.

Matter in which molecules are constantly moving around and bumping into each other.

a)

mass

b)

gas

c)

liquid

d)

solid

13.

Matter in which molecules vibrate so much that they are far apart.

a)

liquid

b)

solid

c)

gas

d)

thermal energy

14.

Sam placed a glass of water in the refrigerator. After about an hour he took it out and found it to be colder.

What is the most likely thing that happened?

a)

the cold that was in the refrigerator transferred into the water

b)

the particles in the water started to move faster

c)

the cold from the refrigerator radiated into the glass

d)

the heat that was in the water transferred out into the refrigerator
