A student investigates heat transfer by placing an ice cube in warm water. The student takes the temperature of the water before the ice cube is placed in the water and again after the ice cube melts. Heat flows between the water and the ice cube during this process.
Type the word into the boxes that complete the sentence describing the flow of heat between the water and the ice cube. Heat moves from the (a) into the Ice Cubes until the ice cube melts in the water and both reach the same temperature.
The data table below shows the change in temperatures of a cup of tea, which sat in a cool science classroom over a 30-minute time period.
Using the data table, which of the following best explains the flow of thermal energy in relationship to the temperature of the tea and surrounding air?
The thermal energy of the tea moved from inside the cup to the surrounding air.
The thermal energy of the cool classroom moved from the room into the tea.

How is Earth's orbit around the Sun similar to the orbits of other planets around the Sun?
Each planet's orbit is determined by how fast it rotates.
Each planet's orbit takes about the same amount of time.
Each planet's travels the same distance in it's orbit as the other planets.
Each planet's orbit is controlled by the pull of the Sun's gravity.
