Explain why a metal spoon feels warmer than a plastic one in the same cup of hot tea. Use the terms insulator and conductor.
The plastic spoon is an insulator, so does not conduct heat from the tea. The metal spoon is a conductor and it will absorb the heat from the tea, making it feel warmer.
What method of heat transfer is shown here?
Convection heating (hot fluid rises, cool fluid sinks)
Which object has more thermal energy, an ice berg or a pot of boiling water? Explain.
Iceberg because there is more mass
What is temperature?
The average kinetic energy of molecule movement in a substance
What is Mr. G's middle name?
Warren
