A group of students were working on an investigation involving electricity. They wore rubber gloves during the investigation. Which of the following is the reason why rubber gloves help protect the students from electric shock?

• Rubber is a good insulator of electricity.

• Rubber is a good conductor of electricity.

• Rubber is a good insulator of heat.

• Rubber is a good conductor of heat.

A student heated the items shown below under a heat lamp for several minutes.

The student measured the temperature of each item after it was under the heat lamp for 10 minutes. He then turned off the heat lamp and waited another 10 minutes. He then measured the temperature of each item a second time. The student is most likely investigating –

• Thermal energy conductors

• Electrical energy conductors

• Thermal energy producers

• Electrical energy producers

A student places a beaker of water in a freezer. After two hours, the student uses a thermometer to measure the temperature of the water. The student observes that the temperature of the water was 18°C. After another hour the student measures the temperature of the water a second time. The student observes that the temperature is now 5°C colder than it was the first time he measured it. If the temperature of the water continues to drop, which of the following will the student observe?

• A solid changing into a liquid

• A liquid changing into a gas

• A solid changing into a gas

• None of the above
