  3. Heat and Heat Transfer MCAS Questions
A poem on heat: The Cremation of Sam McGee by Robert W. Service
Central Concept: Heat is energy that is transferred by the processes of convection, conduction, and radiation between objects or regions that are at different temperatures.  
3.1 Explain how heat energy is transferred by convection, conduction, and radiation. 2006-32( Open response)
3.2 Explain how heat energy will move from a higher temperature to a lower temperature until equilibrium is reached. ( Second Law of Thermodynamics)

3.3 Describe the relationship between average molecular kinetic energy and temperature. Recognize that energy is absorbed when a substance changes from a solid to a liquid to a gas, and that energy is released when a substance changes from a gas to a liquid to a solid. Explain the relationships among evaporation, condensation, cooling, and warming.
