Heat Quiz

Heat Quiz takers might find it curious that desert lizards do a kind of “heat dance” on hot sand. To avoid burning their feet, they lift one leg at a time, shifting constantly. It’s nature’s way of managing heat exposure. That quirky behaviour is a great example of heat transfer in action, right from the ground to living creatures. This heat online quiz isn’t about trick questions, it’s about seeing the science behind things we often overlook. You’ll explore heat MCQs, methods of heat transfer, and concepts like what is specific heat capacity, but all grounded in reality. Test what you know and discover what you didn’t with this short but meaningful heat quiz.
