2

A student sets up an investigation to see if the temperature of the thermometer will increase if the thermometer is placed two inches away from a heat lamp.  The student checks the temperature every minute for ten minutes and sees an increase in temperature on the thermometer.  What form of heat transfer caused the temperature to increase in this investigation?

2

Identify and explain the different types of  heat transfer occuring in the following scenario.

Chris went on a camping trip.  During the day it was so hot that he got sunburned.  When it was time to go to his campsite, he noticed smoke in the air.  His father had started a fire and he felt the heat as he walked by.  In the morning while his mother was cooking breakfast, he accidentally touched a hot pan and got burned.  Although this was the case, he still had fun on the trip.
