When two objects are touching, what type of heat transfer can occur?
Conduction
100

Show me the heat transfer dance moves.

student shows convection, conduction, radiation with their hands

100
Using a metal spoon is one way to use an insulator when cooking.
False, metal is a conductor which means the spoon would heat up and burn your hand!
100

Solid to liquid

Melting

100
This type of heat transfer occurs in liquids and gases
convection
200
Touching a hot handle and getting burned is an example of ___________________.
conduction
200

This type of material protects your hands from getting burned.

insulator

200
Heat moves from hotter objects or substances to cooler objects or substances
True
200
Vaporization

Liquid to gas

200
The energy of the moving particles that make up all matter
thermal energy
300
This type of heat transfer causes warmer air or water to rise while pushing down cooler air or water
Convection
300
When heat is removed from an object
cooling
300
Convection makes the bottom floor of a house cooler than the top floor of a house
True, heat rises!
300

Freezing

liquid to solid

300
Explain the difference between convection and radiation.
Convection transfers heat through air or gas, radiation transfers heat through electromagnetic waves
400
When you are warming your hands beside a campfire, heat is being transferred through _________.
radiation
400
What type of colors attract thermal energy?
Dark colors
400
The reason campfires make you feel warm is because the heat from the fire is conducted through air molecules to the people surrounding the fire.
False
400

Solid to gas

sublimation

400
What is radiation?
The transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves or space/the atmosphere
500
Explain how boiling a pot of water on the stove can be an example of convection AND conduction.
The pot touching the stove is an example of heat being transferred through touch (conduction), but the water inside the pot being heated is an example of convection because the hot water rises and pushes the cooler water down to be warmed up.
500

Is an electric blanket an insulator or a conductor? Explain.

It could be both. It is a conductor because the heat from the electric blanket is touching your skin, and it is an insulator because it traps your body heat underneath the blanket.

500
Metal is the best material to use when you are cooking.
True, metal is a conductor which means your food will cook!
500
Deposition

gas to solid

What is temperature?

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of a molecule or atom.
