QUIZ

question 1/5

Which type of phase change involves adding thermal energy?

Condensation

Freezing

Evaporation

QUIZ

RIGHT!

Explanation:Evaporation is a phase change from a liquid to a gas. This requires adding thermal energy!

QUIZ

question 2/5

Ray puts some solid ice in a glass of water. As the liquid water cools, its particles will

Speed up (gain KE) and get closer together

Slow down (lose KE) and spread apart

Slow down (lose KE) and get closer together

QUIZ

RIGHT!

Explanation:As a liquid is cooled, its particles will lose kinetic energy. Thermal energy is just the total speed of the particles in a substance!

QUIZ

QUESTION 3/5

Kaylee comes inside from playing in the snow. She puts her cold hands on her mom's neck. How will heat transfer?

The heat will transfer from Mom's neck to Kaylee's hands

The cold will transfer from Kaylee's hands to Mom's neck

Both will happen at the same time

QUIZ

RIGHT!

Explanation:When heat transfers through conduction, it will always move from where it is warmer to where it is colder. This will continue until thermal equilibrium (everything is the same temperature) is reached!

QUIZ

QUESTION 4/5

Ryan uses a cold pack on his sore knee. After mixing the powder and liquid in the pack, it cools down. This happens because

The chemical reaction releases more heat than it absorbs

Ryan had to have put the cold pack in the freezer

The chemical reaction absorbs more heat than it releases

QUIZ

RIGHT!

Explanation: All chemical reactions absorb some heat and release some heat. In endothermic reactions (like a cold pack activating), more heat is absorbed than released, cooling the surrounding air!

QUIZ

QUESTION 5/5

Which of these is an example of heat transfer through convection?

Licking a frozen flagpole

Heat from a bonfire heating up a marshmallow

Hot air rising above cooler, denser air

QUIZ

RIGHT!

Explanation:In convection, warmer fluids are pushed above colder fluids. This happens because as fluids cool, they become more dense - and sink below warmer fluids! Convection cycles drive weather and geology!
