4. By what method is heat transferred through a metal skewer? (1)
Q1 contd.
(a) Explain how heat is transferred by the process of convection from the gas flame at the bottom of the oven to the potatoes at the top of the oven (3)
(b) The metal skewers help the potatoes to cook by transferring heat to the inside of the potatoes.
By what method is heat transferred through a metal skewer? (1)
(c) When the potatoes are taken from the oven, they start to cool down.
Suggest one factor that will affect how fast a potato cools down (1)

5. Q1 mark scheme (a) any three from: ignore reference to skewer
• (air) particles / molecules / atoms gain energy • (air) particles / molecules / atoms move faster
do not accept move more, do not accept move with a bigger amplitude / vibrate more
• (air) particles / molecules / atoms move apart • air expands
do not accept particles expand
• air becomes less dense • warm / hot air rises
do not accept heat rises 3
(b) Conduction accept conductor
(c) any one from:
• temperature of the potato do not accept heat for temperature
• temperature of the surroundings / room / surface / atmosphere
accept how hot the potato / room is
• size / mass / weight / volume of the potato • shape of the potato • surface area of the potato
potato cut open insufficient
• nature of the surface of the potato • type of surface it is placed on • in a draught • type of potato • whether the skewers are left in or taken out 1
