Heat Review
States of Matter
1. What are the 3 states of matter? Draw a picture of the particles in each.
2. What are the changes of state? Draw a triangle, which shows the states of matter and the changes of
state.
3. Describe what happens to the particles when an object goes from a gas to a liquid to a solid. How
about from a solid to a liquid to a gas.
Heat Transfer
4. Explain conduction, convection and radiation using the particle theory, include a diagram.
5. What are the similarities and differences between conduction, convection and radiation.
6. Give an example and explain how something heats up through conduction, convection and radiation.
(Different examples for each one, unless you can find an example with all three at once.)
7. Explain why, how oven mitts, blankets, shiny water bottles, work? Explain using a diagram and
particles.

Heat as Energy
8. What is heat? What is temperature? How are they similar and different. Use particles to explain.
9. Why does big pot of water take longer to boil than a small pot of water? Explain using particles and
energy.
10. A small cup of water at 100 C has more temperature but less energy than a large bucket of water at
50C. Explain using particles.
Application of Heat
11. Houses in hot climates are often made of stone (concrete, bricks, rocks etc.) because they stay cool in
the day, but feel warm in the night.
Hint: They take all day to heat up, just like a big pot of water.
12. What is wind chill? Explain what happens using heat energy and particles.
13. To open a stuck lid, you can pour hot water on it. How does this work? Explain using particles and
energy.
