- 13. Multiple ChoiceWhen holding a cup of ice water, your warm hand becomes cold. How does the heat transfer?From the cold cup to your handFrom the cold cup to the warm airFrom the ice to your handFrom your warm hand to the cold cup.
- 14. Multiple Choice
How is heat from the sun and heat from a campfire alike?
They move by radiation.
They move by convection.
They move by conduction.
They are solar energy.
- 15. Multiple Choice
Explain the difference between conduction and convection.
Conduction involves heat going in all directions while heat rises with convection.
Heat moves in all directions for convection, but it rises for conduction.
Heat rises for convection and travels thru liquids and gases. Conduction travels thru solids and liquids but must be physically touching.
Thermal energy travels thru solids for both conduction and convection; however, conduction involves direct contact.

conduction
convection
radiation
