Items that test for misconception CLM034 in this project (Original Project) and other key ideas
CL137001	When a container of water is warmed over a flame, warmer water at the bottom rises toward the top and the colder water at the top sinks toward the bottom.	38%
CL002002	As a jar of water is warmed from the bottom, the water at the bottom of the jar becomes warmer than the water above it and starts to rise, and its thermal energy rises with it.	37%
CL011002	When a container of water is warmed from the bottom, the warmer water at the bottom of the container rises to the top and colder water at the top sinks toward the bottom of the container.	18%
