Grade 7 Physics Structured Revision

Worksheet 1 (Heat and Temperature)


1) Several nails were attached to a metallic rod, through its length by using drops of wax as
adhesive. This rod was placed horizontally with one end subjected to the flame of a burner, as
depicted, below.

Nails closer to point Y begin to fall. If the burner is removed after a short while, nails closer to
point X, remained affixed. Which end of the rod is hotter, and why?
(a) X is hotter as the wax and nails both remained stuck to the rod
(b) X is hotter because heat moved from Y and was transferred to X
(c) Y is hotter as the wax melted quicker due to the heat of the rod
(d) Y is hotter as the gravity acted faster near Y, dropping the nails

2) A child observes the process of ironing clothes. The base of the iron is very hot. The clothes
are warm; however, the top handle of the iron is not warm at all. Which of the following is an
incorrect conclusion, based on his observations?
(a) Heat is trapped inside the iron’s handle.
(b) Heat is conducted by the iron on to the clothes.
(c) The material of the iron’s handle is an insulator.
(d) The handle will not radiate any heat to bare hands.

3) A student boils water in a pan, on an electric stove. Three incidents thus, occur.
1. The top of electric stove remains cold, yet heat reaches the pan
2. Water in the pan is boiled and produces steam
3. The handle of the pan becomes hot and requires a mitten to lift it
Which three processes do the three steps represent, in terms of heat transfer?
(a) 1: Radiation, 2: Conduction and 3: Convection
(b) 1: Convection, 2: Radiation and 3: Conduction
(c) 1: Radiation, 2: Convection and 3: Conduction
(d) 1: Convection, 2: Conduction and 3: Radiation

4) Which instrument should be used to measure the boiling point of a liquid and why?

5) What role does the kink play in making the process of reading temperatures easier, and in
which kind of thermometer does it help?

6) Observe the following diagram of a thermos flask. Explain its working.
