3. What causes warm air to rise and cold air to sink?
A difference in density
A difference in climate
A difference in weather
A difference in substance 60

4. Sally is roasting a marshmallow over a campfire on the end of a piece of wire. She knows that the energy from the fire causes the molecules in the end of the wire that are closest to the fire to move faster. These molecules transfer some of their extra kinetic energy to other molecules close by, and these, in turn, affect still more molecules. Sally knows that this method of energy transfer is
convection
condensation
radiation
conduction 60

5. What sort of energy is found in the spring of a set mousetrap?
Kinetic energy
Potential energy
Nuclear energy
Chemical energy 60

6. In the EduSmart lesson Maya rubbed her hands together when she was cold. How could this energy transformation be written?
Nuclear  Chemical
Physical  Thermal
Mechanical  Thermal
Electrical  Chemical 60

7. convection condensation conduction radiation
Jacob is standing with his back facing a campfire. He notices that his back is much warmer than his chest. He knows that heat energy is being transferred from the fire and that this method of energy transfer can happen even if no air is present. This method of energy transfer is —
convection
condensation
conduction
radiation 60
