Question 1
1.
On which surface would an ice cube melt the fastest?
Metal
Wood
Plastic
Cloth
Question 2
2.
What is the main factor affecting how quickly an ice cube melts on different surfaces?
The color of the surface
The type of material the surface is made of
The height of the surface
The shape of the surface
Question 3
3.
Why does an ice cube melt faster on a metal surface compared to a wooden surface?
Metal is colder than wood
Metal conducts heat better than wood
Metal is lighter than wood
Wood absorbs more heat than metal
Question 4
4.
Which material would most likely cause an ice cube to melt the slowest?
Aluminum foil
Glass
Plastic
Foam
Question 5
5.
Why does ice melt slower on cloth compared to metal?
Because cloth absorbs the water
Because cloth is warmer than metal
Because cloth conducts heat slower than metal
Because ice is less likely to slide off cloth
Question 6
6.
What can speed up the melting process of an ice cube on any surface?
Increasing the air temperature
Decreasing the air temperature
Placing a second ice cube next to the first one
None of the above
Question 7
7.
What is the process called when heat moves from a warmer surface to an ice cube?
Convection
Conduction
Radiation
Insulation
Question 8
8.
Why is it important to control variables like the size of the ice cube in the melting experiment?
To ensure the ice cube has a specific color
To make the experiment more exciting
To ensure a fair test by keeping all conditions the same
To speed up the melting process
Question 9
9.
What role does heat energy play in the melting of an ice cube?
It makes the ice cube colder
It causes the ice cube to melt by breaking the bonds between molecules
It keeps the ice cube solid
It turns the ice into gas
Question 10
10.
In the ice melting experiment, what should you do to make sure your results are accurate?
Change the amount of ice cubes for each trial
Use different sizes of surfaces for each test
Keep all other conditions constant except for the surface type
Measure the ice cubes with different scales
