7.

Based on the principles of convection, conduction, and thermal radiation, which scenario below is most similar to the following situation? You put a heating pad on your back after exercising.

a)

Feeling a metal wire get warmer as you roast a marshmallow over a fire.

b)

Warm air rising in a room where the air is moving.

c)

The sun warming up the roof on a house.

d)

Cold water sinking in a pot of water being warmed up on the stove.

8.

Which would be best categorized as heat transfer by conduction?

a)

A metal rod heating up when placed in a fire.

b)

Warm air rising to the ceiling.

c)

Sunlight warming your skin.

d)

A fan blowing cool air across a room.

9.

Which observation would be evidence that heat was transferred by radiation?

a)

A person feels colder when the wind is blowing.

b)

A pan on a stove heats up the food placed in it.

c)

Warm air in the kitchen rises to the second floor of the house.

d)

A car with the windows rolled up gets very hot on a summer day.

10.

What would you notice if the red water was hot and the blue water was cold?

a)

The water will cool without mixing as heat is transferred by conduction.

b)

You will see the red water move and mix with the blue water due to radiation.

c)

You will see the blue water move into the red water due to convection.

d)

You will see the red water move into the blue water due to convection.

11.

Energy is transferred in solids by conduction, which means that

a)

heat travels in both directions.

b)

heat travels from the cooler object to the hotter object.

c)

heat travels from the hotter object to the cooler object.

d)

heat does not travel between objects of different temperatures.

12.

Which diagram BEST represents a convection heating current?

a)

Diagram A

b)

Diagram B

c)

Both diagrams

d)

Neither diagram

13.

What type of heat transfer is used to fry an egg in a pan and how can you tell?

a)

It is conduction because the egg does not cook.

b)

It is conduction because the egg is touching the pan.

c)

It is convection because you put oil in a frying pan to cook in it.

d)

It is convection because you can feel the heat a few inches away from the pan.

14.

Which is an example of convection?

a)

rubbing your hands together.

b)

heating a fish tank.

c)

ironing clothes.

d)

using a hairdryer.

conduction points

16.

What type of pan would be best to use to cook food?

a)

Plastic pan

b)

Glass pan

c)

Metal pan

d)

Ceramic pan

17.

What type of heat transfer is warming the dog?

a)

convection

b)

radiation

c)

conduction

d)

fusion

18.

If each container is filled with water and placed in the sun for 15 minutes, which would have the warmest water?

a)

Container A

b)

Container B

c)

Container C

d)

Container D

19.

The image shows a solar oven, how is heat energy transferred to the oven.

a)

conduction

b)

convection

c)

insulation

d)

radiation

20.

Would replacing the foil bottom with black paper increase the temperature of the oven? Why or why not?

a)

No. The top and bottom should be covered with aluminum foil to reflect the rays of the sun.

b)

No. The bottom and sides of the box should be covered with rolled up newspapers to help insulate the box.

c)

Yes. A black bottom will absorb more heat energy when the sunlight is reflected into the box by the foil.

d)

Not completely. Sarah is correct about the bottom. It should be black. But the rest of the box should be black to absorb heat energy.
