The hotter object is the boiling water, and the colder objects are the spoons and the butter.

The heat from the boiling water will travel to the spoons and then to the butter on the top of each of the spoon.​

Since the metal spoon is a good conductor of heat, the heat will reach the butter faster.​

Heat travels from hotter object to colder object

​

Ms. Iin has 2 lunch boxes, styrofoam lunch box and metal lunch box. She packs the same hot meal in them. 

Styrofoam is a poor conductor of heat.

It doesn’t allow the heat to pass through easily / It traps the heat inside it and not let it pass through easily.

Why?

Rita has two similar basins, A and B, containing the same amount of water at 20 °C. She poured a cup of water at 100 °C into Basin A. She poured a bucket of water at 100 °C into Basin B.

​

The water in the bucket has more heat than the water in the cup because of the greater amount of water in the bucket.

Therefore, when the water from the bucket is added to Basin B, more heat travels to the water in the basin, and so the temperature becomes higher.

Answer whether these situations are examples of conduction, convection or radiation​
