Heat and Temperature Review

What is "the energy of particles moving from a warmer region to a colder region"?

• Heat

• Temperature

• Radiation

What is the relationship between HEAT and TEMPERATURE?

• HEAT is the total amount of energy, TEMPERATURE is the average.

• Adding HEAT causes your TEMPERATURE to increase.

• They're the same thing.

When you leave a pot of water uncovered, it slowly disappears because it is...

• Boiling

• Evaporating

• Radiating

You have a sample of WATER at 0 DEGREES CELSIUS. What states of matter can it be? [Select all that apply!]

• Solid (ice)

• Liquid (water)

• Gas (steam/vapor)

Answer explanation

Since water freezes/melts at zero degrees, it could be either a solid OR a liquid at that temperature. Possibly both!

What is "the temperature at which an object's particles stop moving entirely"?

• Freezing point

• Absolute zero

• Insulator

What is water's BOILING POINT?

• 100°C

• 100°F

• 212°C

Answer explanation

100 degrees Celsius! 212 would be in Fahrenheit!

What type of heat transfer does a lava lamp best represent?

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

What type of heat transfer works in space?

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

Mr. Austin burns their hand on the stove! What type of heat transfer is that?

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

Water has a high SPECIFIC HEAT, which means it heats up very...

• quickly

• slowly

Answer explanation

Higher specific heat means it takes more energy to get one degree temperature change. Therefore, slower heating.
