Total questions: 27
Worksheet time: 15mins
In which direction does the transfer of thermal energy move?
From the hotter object (fire) to the colder object (the pan)
From the colder object (the pan) to the hotter object (fire)
Into both objects at the same time
It doesn't move at all
If there was an arrow showing the thermal energy transfer between the two cubes, which direction would it point?
to the right --> (blue to red)
to the left <-- (red to blue)
What are criterion in a science experiment?
things that make it harder
the results of the science experiment
the rules you have to follow
whether or not your hypothesis was right
What are constraints in a science experiement?
things that make it harder
the rules you have to follow
the results of the science experiment
whether or not your hypothesis was right

must keep ice cold for at least 30 minutes
must cost less than $20
must be smaller than a shoebox
must be built during the class time
Which of the following were constraints from our medicine container project?
must keep ice cold for at least 30 minutes
could not spend any money

conduction
convection
radiation

Which type of thermal energy transfer occurs when heat travel in waves and does NOT touch another object?
conduction
convection
radiation
Which of the following is an example of convection?
you burn your hand by touching a hot pot

What are criteria you might have to consider when building a cup to keep something hot?
if it is holding coffee or tea
how big it can be
how long it has to stay hot
how much money it costs
What are constraints you might have to consider when building a cup to keep something hot?
how much time to build it
how much money it costs
what materials are availabe
what it is holding
Based on the graph, which material of cup would keep the drink the hottest the longest?
Material 1
Material 2
Material 3
Material 4
How do you know material 3 is keeping the drink the hottest? (hint: there may be more than one correct answer)
Material 3 is the hottest at the end of the trial
All of the materials started with the same/similar temperatures
Material 3 is the lightest color
