How does heat transfer in this scenario: You have a bowl of ice cream and you had a warm cookie on top.
The warm cookie will transfer its heat to the ice cream.

Give an example of an insulator.
Answers may vary.
Wood, styrofoam, cardboard, rubber, paper, etc.
100
The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree is called this.
specific heat

What type of color absorbs the most heat?
Black
200
What type of heat transfer is this woman using?
Convection
200
What happens to particles of matter when thermal energy is added? Must include 2 traits.
The particles spread apart and begin to move more rapidly.

At what temperature does water boils in fahrenheit?
212 degrees F
200
This color reflects the most sunlight? Red, blue, pink, white, gray, or black?
white
300
What is the type of heat transfer that transfers heat through waves or particles?
Radiation
300
What happens to particles of matter when it is thermal energy is reduced? Must include 2 traits.
Particles slow down and begin to condense.
300
What is an insulator? Scientific definition.
A material that stops heat from traveling. Traps heat.
300
What is absolute 0? What happens at this temperature?
The temperature at which particles of matter stop moving completely.
300
According to this chart, which material would heat up the fastest?
Diamond
400
This person is using a flat iron to straighten hair. This would be an example of which heat transfer?
Conduction
400
Which has more heat energy?
An huge iceberg the size of our school or a standard size hot cup of coffee.
Huge iceberg
400
Why are metals better conductors?
The atoms are more tightly packed together which allows for atoms to easily collide and transfer heat.
400
Why can you feel warmth from a campfire even when you are not touching it?
Radiation
400
Given is a list of materials and their thermal conductivity in w/mK. Which material is the best conductor and the worst conductor on the chart?
Best - Copper
Worst - Iron
500
What type of heat transfer transfers heat from one place to another through the movement of fluid such as air and water?
Convection
500
Give an example of something that has kinetic energy.
Answers may vary.
But answer must be of something that is moving.
500
If you wrap a hot cup of coffee in aluminum foil and then in a towel, which layer affects conduction and which affects radiation?
Foil reduces radiation, towel reduces conduction.
500
Why are double-paned windows better insulators than single-paned ones?
Because the air (or gas) trapped between the panes reduces conduction and convection.
500
Which absorbs more heat? Grass or asphalt roads
Asphalt roads
