Which statement best describes what will occur when a hot nail is dropped into a container of cold water?
a) Heat energy in the cold water will flow into the nail.
b) Heat energy in the nail will flow into the cold water.
c) The cold water will prevent the nail from losing heat.
d) The hot nail will remain warmer than the cold water.

Which statement best explains how energy is transferred during evaporation and precipitation?
a) Liquid water loses energy during evaporation and then loses more energy during precipitation.
b) Liquid water absorbs energy from the sun during evaporation and then loses energy, forming precipitation.
c) Liquid water loses energy during evaporation and then absorbs energy from the sun, forming precipitation.

d) radiation

Miguel prepares a flower bed on a hot summer morning. He covers the bed with a sheet of plastic that extends to the edge of the bed. He notices at the end of the day that the plastic now extends two inches beyond the edge. Why has that happened?
a) because the weight of the air caused the plastic to expand
b) because the heat of the sun caused the plastic to expand
c) because the lower air pressure caused the plastic to expand
d) because the higher air pressure caused the plastic to expand

a) The water lost energy to its surroundings.
b) The water condensed and flowed out of the sweater.
c) The water absorbed heat energy and evaporated.
d) The water transpired and evaporated.

Which is the best example of a physical change?
a) water in a cup turning into ice
b) wood burning to ashes
c) cake mix baking into cupcakes
d) a piece of metal rusting
