NGSS.MS-PS3-4

The temperature at which no more energy can be removed from matter is known as

• 0 K

• 32°C

• 212°F

• 100°C

The temperature scale on which zero is the temperature at which no more energy can be removed from matter. There are no negative numbers of this temperature scale.

• Celsius

• Fahrenheit

• Kelvin

The direct transfer of heat from one substance to another substance that it is touching.

• Radiation

• Conduction

• Convection

The transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid (gas or liquid).

• Radiation

• Conduction

• Convection

The temperature in a car rises on a cold day, even when the heat is not on. This is an example of

• heat transfer by radiation.

• heat transfer by conduction.

• heat transfer by convection.

You feel that the sand is hot as you run towards the ocean. This is an example of

• heat transfer by radiation.

• heat transfer by conduction.

• heat transfer by convection.

The water in your new fish tank heats up because you place a heater at the bottom of the tank. This is an example of

• heat transfer by radiation.

• heat transfer by conduction.

• heat transfer by convection.

As thermal energy is add to a substance, the particles...

• spread apart.

• become more compact.

• stay the same.
