Jordan places a hot spoon into a container of ice cream. How does this help him scoop  out the ice cream? 

• The coolness from the ice cream is conducted to the spoon making it easier to scoop out.
• The coolness from the ice cream is radiated to the spoon making it easier to scoop out.
• The warmth of the spoon is conducted to the ice cream  making it easier to scoop out.
• The warmth of the spoon is radiated  to the ice cream making it easier to scoop out.
