Instructions for using this review sheet: This review sheet is divided into chapters with the pages covered in each
chapter listed because we did not cover all parts of all chapters. The important vocabulary is listed for each chapter.
You should make flash cards of the vocabulary to help you study. A set of questions follows the vocabulary in
each chapter. Look for the answers to these questions in your book and in your notes. These questions do not
necessarily cover everything in the chapter. They just give you an idea of some of the important topics.
Write all of your answers on a separate sheet of paper. There will not be enough room for you to write your
answers on this sheet. This sheet is designed so you can then continue to use this as a question/answer review.
Study with friends or family by having other people quiz you. Simply answering these questions will not
prepare you for your exam. You must study the information, memorize vocabulary, and seek to understand how
to do the problems.
4. Draw the convection currents that would be seen in a pot on the stove. Show where different
temperature zones are in the pot.
5. If two objects that have different temperatures come into contact with each other, what will happen?
