5th Grade Science Ch. 6 SEC 2 - Temperature
Temperature is actually the degree of coldness or hotness in an environment measured using a thermometer. In chapter two we covered how to measure the different types it presents itself as. How well did you understand the topic? Take up the quiz and find out. All the best as you tackle it!
- 1.A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object is called
- A.
Temperature
- B.
Conduction
- C.
Convection
- D.
Radiation
- 2.What is windchill?
- A.
Goose bumps you get when you feel the wind on your face and arms
- B.
How quickly wind can freeze an object
- C.
The ability for wind to make your body lose heat faster, and make you feel as if the temperature is lower then it actually is
- 3.What happens to the wind chill index as wind speeds get higher
- A.
Nothing, since wind cannot actually lower the temperature of the outside air
- B.
The wind chill temperature gets warmer because the faster the wind goes the warmer is circulated and the temperature rises
- C.
The wind chill temperature gets colder because as the wind gets faster it makes your body lose heat faster thus it feels colder
- 4.What is heat
- A.
A transfer of energy from one object to another due to a difference in temperature
- B.
Something that just happens when you rub two objects together
- C.
The result of a energy transfer between to objects which creates heat through symbiotic motion
- 5.What happens to the molecules of someting when it is heated
- A.
Nothing
- B.
They go dorment
- C.
They get excited
- D.
Both B&C
- 6.How is heat measured
- A.
What a thermometer
- B.
Measured in Units called BTUs
- C.
Measured in Units called calories
- 7.How is temperature measured?
- A.
Measure in a unit called British Thermal Units
- B.
With a thermometer
- C.
With a flask and mercury
- D.
Measurment is relative to observer
- 8.What is the scientific name for sale
- A.
Sodium Chloride
- B.
Sodium Magnesium
- C.
Sodium Glutamate
- D.
Sodium Birite
- 9.How is heat transfered through a solid
- A.
It's not - heat cannot be transfered through a solid
- B.
Through a process called spontaneous combustion
- C.
From molecule to molecule
- D.
Through a principal called thermal dispution

- C.
Plastic
- D.
Silver
- E.
Mangesium
- 12.How is heat transferred through empty space
- A.
Heat cannot be transferred through empty space. It's impossible
- B.
There are no molecules so it is done by radiation
- C.
Through thermal displacement
- D.
Through spontaneous combustion
- 13.How do black materials and white materials absorb heat from radiation differently
- A.
Dark surfaces absorb radiation better
- B.
Dark surfaces reflect heat away
- C.
Light surfaces absorb radiation better
- D.
They don't they're both the same
- E.
None of the above
