I. VERY SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS (1M):
[Link] is the SI unit of temperature?
2. What is the normal human body temperature in °C?
3. What is the SI unit of heat?
4. What is thermal energy?
5. What happens to thermal energy when an object is heated?
6. Name one good and one poor conductor of heat.
7. In which state of matter does convection occur?
8. Which surface is the best absorber of heat radiation?
9. What is radiation?
10. Which surface is the best absorber of heat radiation
For question numbers 11 to 13, two statements are given- one labelled
Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R).
Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (i), (ii),
(iii) and (iv) as given below :
(i) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of the assertion.
(ii) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation
of the assertion.
(iii)A is true but R is false.
(iv) A is false but R is true.
11. Assertion (A): Heat flows from a hotter object to a colder one.

Reason (R): The particles in a hot object have more energy and move faster.
12. Assertion (A): Shiny surfaces are used inside thermos flasks.
Reason (R): Shiny surfaces are good absorbers of heat.
13. Assertion (A): A thermos flask has a vacuum between its two walls.
Reason (R): Vacuum prevents heat loss by conduction and convection.
[Link] STUDY BASED QUESTION
[Link] poured hot soup into a steel bowl and placed it on the table. After a few minutes,
he touched the bowl and found it hot. Later, he poured the same soup into a plastic bowl.
This time, the bowl remained cool to touch, even though the soup was still hot.
Questions:
1. Why did the steel bowl feel hot?
2. Why did the plastic bowl remain cool?
3. Which method of heat transfer is shown when the bowl gets heated?
4. What kind of material should be used for holding hot objects safely?
[Link] Study 2: Sea Breeze and Land Breeze
During the day, land heats up faster than water. As a result, warm air above the land rises,
and cool air from the sea moves in to take its place. This is called sea breeze. At night, the
reverse happens and is called land breeze.
Questions:
1. Which method of heat transfer is involved in sea and land breezes?
2. Why does land heat up faster than water?
3. What causes the movement of air in sea breeze?
4. When does sea breeze occur – day or night?
III.A) SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS (2 M):
[Link] do we wear light-colored clothes in summer and dark-colored clothes in winter
2. Why is a metal spoon hotter than a wooden spoon when both are placed in hot soup?
3. How does a thermos flask prevent heat loss?
4. How does convection help in the heating of water?
5. Why are cooking utensils often made of metal with plastic or wooden handles?
6. Why do we feel warm when we sit near a fire even without touching it?
7. Why are blankets made of wool used in winter?
8. Why are cooling coils placed at the top of a refrigerator?
9. Why does a black car heat up faster than a white car in the sun?
10. Why is it advised not to touch metal objects in extremely cold weather with bare hands?

IV. SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS (3 M)
1. Explain how heat is transferred in solids, liquids, and gases. Give one example for each.
2. Describe three features of a thermos flask that help in preventing heat loss.
3. How does convection help in the formation of winds and sea breeze?
4. Why do houses in cold regions have double-glazed windows? How does it relate to the
concept of heat transfer?
[Link] ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS (5M)
[Link] the working of a thermos flask in detail. How does it prevent heat transfer by
conduction, convection, and radiation?
2. Explain the differences between conduction, convection, and radiation in terms of:
Medium required
Mode of heat transfer
Speed
Direction
Practical example
3. Describe how land and sea breezes are formed. Use diagrams if needed.
4.A student says that metal feels colder than wood in winter. Both are kept in the same
room. Explain scientifically why this happens.
