GRADE 8 SCIENCE

UNIT 1: MODULE 3 - Heat and Temperature

I. MULTIPLE CHOICE. Encircle the letter of the best answer.
1) What energy pertains to the energy that flows from one place to another as a result of a difference in
temperature?
a. Heat/Heat energy b. Mechanical energy c. Sound d. Nuclear energy

2) Mercury inside the thermometer shows thermal expansion (thermal meaning heat). True or false?
a. True, because the molecules of mercury expand with high temperature.
b. False, because heat doesn’t cause expansion.
c. True, because when there is high temperature, the thermometer always explode.
d. False, because the molecules don’t have kinetic energy.

3) It is the amount of heat needed by a material to increase its temperature by a degree.

a. heat capacity (c) b. heat energy (Q) c. mass in kg (m) d. change in temperature

4) What energy is evident in molecules along with high temperature or heat?

a. potential energy b. kinetic energy c. chemical energy d. sound energy

5) The molecules of ice are affected by high temperature. What happens to ice first?
a. melts to liquid water b. remains solid ice c. turns to water vapor d. none of the above

6) It is the instrument used to measure temperature.

a. barometer b. galvanometer c. microscope d. thermometer

7) Imagine this scenario: Container 1 contains cold water, while Container 2 contains hot water. If you drop dye or
food coloring in both containers, which statement below is TRUE?
a. The dye in Container 1 will spread faster than in Container 2.
b. The dye in Container 2 will spread faster than in Container 1.
c. Both dye in the containers will spread at the same rate.
d. None of the above is true.

8) Look and analyze the graph below and identify which statement is FALSE about the graph.

a. Ice turns to liquid water at a melting point of 0°C.

b. 100°C is the boiling point of water.
c. As temperature increases, water turns to ice.
d. Liquid water turns to water vapor at 100°C.

9-10) What is the difference between heat and temperature?

a. Heat is a form of energy while temperature measures the average kinetic energy of particles.
b. Heat is the measure of coldness while temperature is the measure of hotness.
c. Heat is the measure of hotness while temperature is the measure of coldness.
d. There is no difference between heat and temperature.
