- Q1Jill notices that her skin gets burned when she sits out in the sun. What best explains why this happens?The heat from the sun is being conducted to the Earth.The soil is convecting heat into the air.The heat from the sun is radiating down to Earth's surface.30s
- Q2Which best explains how bacon is fried on a stove burner?The bacon transfers heat directly to the pan, and the pan transfers heat directly to the stove burner.The stove burner radiates heat to the pan, and the pan radiates heat to the bacon.The stove burner transfers heat directly to the pan, and the pan directly transfers heat to the bacon.The bacon creates a convection current, the heat rises to the pan, and then rises to the stove burner.30s
- Q3What is the original source of most of the energy that people use?Energy that reaches Earth's surface by radiation from the Earth's core.Energy that reaches Earth's surface by radiation from the sun.Energy that reaches the Earth's surface by conduction from Earth's core.Energy that reaches Earth's surface by convection from the sun.30s
- Q4Which best explains why a hot air balloon floats?The heated air expands to fill the balloon. The air in the balloon is now lighter than the surrounding air, causing the balloon to rise.The heated air contracts to fill the balloon. The air in the balloon is now denser than the surrounding air, causing the balloon to rise.The heated air expands to fill the balloon. The air in the balloon is now heavier than the surrounding air, causing the balloon to rise.30s
- Q5Which is an example of radiation?burning yourself after touching a hot plateboiling a pot of noodles for dinnerfeeling warm while taking a showergetting hot from lying in the sun30s
- Q6Which is the best choice for the handle of a frying pan?metal, because it conducts heatwood, because it conducts heatwood, because it does not conduct heatmetal, because it does not conduct heat30s
- Q7Which is the best example of radiation?burning a piece of paper with a candle flamewarming hotdogs over a fireboiling water on a stove top burner30s
- Q8A pot is heated on the stove. Which process causes the metal handle of the pot to also become hot?combustionconvectionradiationconduction30s
- Q9Which is an example of radiation?warming food on the stovecooling food in the freezerwarming food in the microwave30s
- Q10Which shows an example of convection?Ben holds the end of a metal rod in a fire to cook hot dogs.Lucy wraps herself in an electric blanket to keep warm.Clara burns her hand by touching a light bulb.Jose cooking an egg in a pot of boiling water.30s
