A cool box is used to keep food cooler than the surroundings. They are often used to carry chilled or frozen food home from a supermarket or to keep food fresh at a picnic. Which of the following materials would be suitable to make the walls of a cool box?

Polyurethane foam (a type of plastic that contains air bubbles)

Which way does thermal energy travel?

From a conductor of heat to a non conductor

It varies depending on the situation

A group of students carried out an investigation into the rate at which different foods cool down. They measured the temperature of each food at 30 second intervals until the food had cooled from 80oC to room temperature. They then drew graphs of the results. In each case, the graph was the same shape. Which of the following describes the shape of their graphs?

A linear graph with a negative gradient

A lineear graph with a positive gradient

A curved line graph with a negative gradient that is steeper at higher temperatures

A curved line graph with a positive gradient that was steeper at lower temperatures

Quiz FAQ

How should I use this GCSE Science Physics - Rate of Heat Transfer (AQA) Quiz?

Complete the quiz once under normal timing, review every mistake, then return to the Science subject page to try a related quiz while the topic is still fresh.

What should I do after finishing this GCSE Science Physics - Rate of Heat Transfer (AQA) Quiz?

Use your score as a signal. If the result is strong, move to another Science quiz for wider coverage. If the result is weak, repeat practice in the same subject before switching topics.

Is GCSE Science Physics - Rate of Heat Transfer (AQA) Quiz enough on its own for Science revision?

One quiz is useful for diagnosis, but not enough on its own. The strongest approach is to combine this page with other quizzes in Science, plus broader revision or past-paper style practice where available.
