Primary 3 Science Quiz - Heat: Answer Key

Total Marks: 40

Section A: Multiple-Choice Questions (10 marks)

1. What is the unit used to measure temperature?
Answer: C) Degree Celsius
Marks: 1
Notes: Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius (°C). Kilogram measures mass, litre measures volume, and centimetre measures length.

2. Which of the following is a source of heat?
Answer: C) The Sun
Marks: 1
Notes: The Sun gives out heat. Ice cubes, blocks of wood, and cold water are not sources of heat.

3. When we heat a solid, it may change into a __________.
Answer: B) liquid
Marks: 1
Notes: Heating a solid causes it to melt and change into a liquid. For example, ice (solid) melts into water (liquid).

4. Which material is a good conductor of heat?
Answer: C) Metal
Marks: 1
Notes: Metals such as copper, aluminium, and steel are good conductors of heat. Plastic, wood, and rubber are poor conductors.

5. A thermometer is used to measure __________.
Answer: C) temperature
Marks: 1
Notes: A thermometer measures how hot or cold something is. It does not measure weight, length, or volume.

6. When a liquid is heated, it may change into a __________.
Answer: C) gas
Marks: 1
Notes: Heating a liquid causes it to evaporate and change into a gas. For example, water (liquid) changes into water vapour (gas).

7. Which of the following is a poor conductor of heat?
Answer: D) Cloth
Marks: 1
Notes: Cloth is a poor conductor of heat (insulator). Copper, aluminium, and steel are metals and good conductors.

8. Heat always moves from a __________ object to a __________ object.
Answer: B) hot, cold
Marks: 1
Notes: Heat always flows from a hotter object to a cooler object. This continues until both objects reach the same temperature.

9. When an ice cream is left outside on a hot day, it melts. This is because heat is __________.
Answer: A) absorbed by the ice cream
Marks: 1
Notes: The ice cream absorbs heat from the hot surroundings, causing it to melt. Heat moves from the hot air to the cold ice cream.

10. Which of the following is NOT a way to produce heat?
Answer: C) Placing ice on our skin
Marks: 1
Notes: Placing ice on skin removes heat from the body; it does not produce heat. Rubbing hands, burning a candle, and using a stove all produce heat.

Section B: True or False (10 marks)

11. All metals are good conductors of heat.
Answer: True
Marks: 1
Notes: Metals generally allow heat to pass through them easily, making them good conductors of heat.

12. Heat can cause a solid to change into a liquid.
Answer: True
Marks: 1
Notes: When a solid is heated, it melts and becomes a liquid. Example: ice melts into water.

13. A wooden spoon is a better conductor of heat than a metal spoon.
Answer: False
Marks: 1
Notes: A metal spoon is a better conductor of heat than a wooden spoon. Wood is a poor conductor (insulator).

14. When we heat water, it can change into water vapour.
Answer: True
Marks: 1
Notes: When water is heated, it evaporates and changes into water vapour (a gas).

15. Heat moves from a cold object to a hot object.
Answer: False
Marks: 1
Notes: Heat moves from a hot object to a cold object, not the other way around.

16. A thermometer works because the liquid inside it expands when heated.
Answer: True
Marks: 1
Notes: The liquid (mercury or alcohol) inside a thermometer expands when heated and contracts when cooled, allowing us to read the temperature.

17. Plastic and rubber are poor conductors of heat.
Answer: True
Marks: 1
Notes: Plastic and rubber do not allow heat to pass through them easily; they are poor conductors (insulators).

18. When a substance is cooled, its particles move faster.
Answer: False
Marks: 1
Notes: When a substance is cooled, its particles move slower. When heated, particles move faster.

19. The Sun is the main source of heat on Earth.
Answer: True
Marks: 1
Notes: The Sun provides heat energy that warms the Earth. It is the primary natural source of heat.

20. A good conductor of heat allows heat to pass through it quickly.
Answer: True
Marks: 1
Notes: Good conductors (like metals) let heat pass through them easily and quickly. Poor conductors (insulators) slow down heat transfer.
