Sam went to a park on a hot summer day. He wanted to slide down the steel slide but realized it was too hot. Which statement explains why the slide was hot?

• Heat was transferred to the slide by radiation.

• Heat was transferred to the slide by convection.

• Heat was transferred to the slide by conduction.

• Heat was transferred to the slide by transpiration.

Which best describes an example of conduction?

• a heater warming a room

• water boiling in a pot on a stove

• an ice cube melting in a cup of hot chocolate

• cold water moving toward the bottom of a swimming pool

Which best describes how heat is transferred due to convection?

• through direct contact with a hot object

• through the movement of gases or liquids

• through the absorption of the sun’s energy

• through the process of liquid changing into a gas

Which processes occur when a pot of water placed on a hot stove causes the water to boil?

• The pot heats because of conduction, and radiation causes movement of the water.

• The pot heats because of radiation, and convection causes movement of the water.

• The pot heats because of conduction, and convection causes movement of the water.

• The pot heats because of convection, and conduction causes movement of the water.

People sitting around a campfire are able to feel the heat from the fire. How are the people able to feel the heat from the fire without touching the fire?

• The heat from the fire travels through the ground and heats the ground around the people.

• The heat from the fire is conducted through air molecules to the people.

• The heat from the fire rises in the air and then settles around the people.

• The heat from the fire radiates from the fire to the people.

Which will most likely occur when a raw egg is placed on black pavement on a hot, summer day?

• The pavement will conduct the heat and cook the egg.

• The egg will reflect the heat and make the pavement hotter underneath.

• The egg will absorb the heat and leave the pavement hotter underneath.

• The pavement will absorb the heat from the egg, and the egg will stay raw.

A cold metal spoon is placed in a bowl of hot soup. Which best describes how the spoon is affected?

• The heat from the soup does not affect the temperature of the spoon.

• The heat from the soup is conducted through the spoon, making the spoon warmer.

• The cold air in the room radiates into the soup, cooling it, and keeping the spoon cool.

• The cold from the spoon is conducted into the soup, causing the soup to cool to the same temperature as the spoon.
