Primary 3 Science - Heat Quiz 01 - Answer Key
Section A: Multiple Choice Questions (1 mark each)
1. B) Hot objects to cold objects
Heat always flows from a hotter object to a colder object.
2. B) Thermometer
A thermometer is used to measure temperature.
3. C) Metal
Metal is a good conductor of heat. Wood, plastic, and cloth are insulators.
4. C) Radiation
Heat from the sun reaches Earth through radiation (no physical contact needed).
5. C) Degrees Celsius
Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius (°C).
Section B: Short Answer Questions (2 marks each)
6. Any two of: sun, fire, heater, stove, burning fuel, our body, electrical appliances
Award 1 mark for each correct heat source
7. A conductor allows heat to pass through it easily (e.g., metal). An insulator does not allow heat to pass through it easily (e.g., wood, plastic).
Award 1 mark for conductor explanation, 1 mark for insulator explanation
8. Any two of: wood, plastic, rubber, cloth, air, wool, cork, styrofoam
Award 1 mark for each correct insulator
9. Ice will melt and turn into water. When ice gains heat, it changes from solid to liquid.
Award 2 marks for mentioning melting/changing to water
10. The sun gives off heat. This heat travels through space by radiation and reaches us, making us feel warm.
Award 2 marks for mentioning heat from sun reaching us
Section C: Application Questions (2 marks each)
11. Metal is a good conductor of heat, so it helps transfer heat from the stove to the food quickly for cooking. Plastic is an insulator, so it does not transfer heat to our hands, preventing us from getting burnt.
Award 1 mark for explaining metal (conductor), 1 mark for explaining plastic (insulator)
12. Both chairs are at the same temperature (room temperature). However, metal is a better conductor of heat, so it conducts heat away from Ah Kow's hand faster, making it feel colder. Wood is an insulator and conducts heat away more slowly.
Award 2 marks for explaining metal conducts heat faster than wood
13. Wool is a good insulator. It traps air and prevents body heat from escaping to the cold surroundings, keeping the body warm.
Award 2 marks for mentioning wool as insulator and trapping heat
14. The hot tea will become cooler as it loses heat to the surrounding air. The cold water will become warmer as it gains heat from the surrounding air. Eventually, both will reach room temperature.
Award 1 mark for tea cooling, 1 mark for water warming
15. The air outside is hotter than the ice cream. Heat flows from the hot surroundings to the cold ice cream. As the ice cream gains heat, it melts and changes from solid to liquid.
Award 2 marks for explaining heat flow from surroundings to ice cream causing melting
