HMS Thermal Energy Post Assessment

Four containers made of different materials, each containing water at 45º C, were set out on a table. The initial temperature of the water was recorded. The temperature of the water was also recorded 15 minutes later.

• Container A

• Container B

• Container C

• Container D

Which of the following is an example of heat transfer by conduction?

• Sunlight warming a room early in the morning.

• A metal spoon getting hot in a bowl of soup.

• Warm and cold water circulating in an ocean.

A student notices that the saucer below a coffee cup becomes warmer after coffee is poured into the cup. Energy was transferred from –

• the cup to the saucer by conduction.

• the saucer to the cup by conduction.

• the cup to the saucer by convection.

• the saucer to the cup by convection.

Which of the following is an example of heat transfer through radiation?

• A pot of soup warming on a hot burner.

• A crayon melting on a hot sidewalk.

• Beach sand getting warmed by the Sun.

• An egg getting cooked in a pot of boiling water.

While seated next to a camp fire, a person begins to feel the warmth of the fire. Energy is transferred from –

• the fire to the person by conduction.

• the person to the fire by conduction.

• the fire to the person by radiation.

• the person to the fire by radiation.

Match the following

• Radiation

• Transfer of thermal energy that occurs in solids, liquids, and gases when two substances of different temperatures touch

• Thermal Energy

• Measured by a thermometer in degrees (Celsius or Fahrenhiet)

• Conduction

• Heat transfer caused by the rising of hotter, less dense fluids and the falling of cooler, denser fluids

• Convection

• The total kinetic eneergy of tiny particles that make up matter; the warmer the matter becomes

• Temperature
