QUIZ

Complete the following quiz, and getthe first number towards your reward!

QUIZ

question 1/5

Which type of phase change involves adding thermal energy?

Condensation

Freezing

Evaporation

next

RIGHT!

QUIZ

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

question 2/5

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

Slow down (lose KE) and get closer together

Speed up (gain KE) and get closer together

Slow down (lose KE) and spread apart

QUIZ

NEXT

RIGHT!

QUIZ

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!

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

NEXT

RIGHT!

QUIZ

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!

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

The chemical reaction absorbs more heat than it releases

Ryan had to have put the cold pack in the freezer

QUIZ

NEXT

RIGHT!

QUIZ

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!

QUESTION 5/5

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

Licking a frozen flagpole

Hot air rising above cooler, denser air

Heat from a bonfire heating up a marshmallow

QUIZ

NEXT

RIGHT!

QUIZ

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!

Congratulations!

You are a thermal energy master.You must have been paying attention in class.You are an extremely cool person.To prove it, please stand up, spin in a circle twice, put your finger in your ear, and then shout, "THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM!"Everyone will be astonished at how cool you are.
