100

Burning your hand on a stove. Ouch! 

What is conduction? 

100

A winter coat

What is insulator?

100

Temperature is the average _______   ________ of all an object's particles 

What is kinetic energy?
100

Heat always moves from the ________ object to the cooler object. 

What is warmer/hotter? 

200

Air rising and falling in a thunderstorm. 

What is convection? 

200

A metal nail

What is a conductor? 

200

List one of the ways we measure temperature (abbreviations are okay)

What is degrees F, degrees C, or K? 

200

Give an example of conduction. 

What is frying pan on a stove (other examples work as long as they involve the objects touching/direct contact)? 

300

A lizard getting warm under its heat lamp. 

What is radiation? 

300

A plastic water bottle 

What is an insulator? 

300

Which has more thermal energy an NFL football player or a sixth grader? Why? 

What is the football player because they have more particles (mass)? 

300

Give an example of radiation. 

What is the sunlight or a microwave (other examples work as long as there is no direct contact/touching and the heat travels in waves)? 

400

Draw an example of convection on your whiteboard with arrows showing where the heat is moving? 

What is water boiling, a lava lamp etc? Arrows should show circular motion. 

400

Insulators are different than conductors because they do not... 

What is allow heat to move easily?

400

Which has more thermal energy a 16 ounce hot coffee or a 16 ounce iced tea? 

What is the hot coffee because it is hotter/the particles have more kinetic energy? 

400

Give an example of convection. 

What is boiling water on the stove to make ramen (other examples work as long as they involve circular movement through air or water or another fluid)? 

500

Draw an example of conduction on your whiteboard. 

What is a pancake cooking on a pan, what is a hair straightener or curling iron? Or other examples that involve direct contact. Arrows should point from the hotter object to the cooler object. 

500

Conductors not only allow heat to flow easily but also ________________

What is electricity? 

500

In what state of matter (solid, liquid, or gas) are the particles moving the fastest? 

What is gas?

500

True or false. Radiation does not require matter to transfer heat. 

What is true?
