Science Assessment ~ Topics ~ Weather and Climate II: Seasonal Differences ~ Misconception CLM030

Moving air does not carry thermal energy (AAAS Project 2061, n.d.).

Items that test for misconception CLM030 in this project (ASPECt) and key idea ()
Item ID Number	Item Description	How Often the Misconception was Chosen
RG190001	Energy is transferred when warmer air moves from one place to another and when a person listens to music on a radio.	33%
RG010003	A fan in front of a fireplace will blow warm air across the room to the other end of the room causing the thermal energy of the air at the other end of the room to increase.	30%
RG004002	More energy will be transferred to a hand when it is above a flame than when it is beside the flame because in addition to the energy that is radiated by the flame, energy is also transferred by the movement of the warm air upward to the hand when it is above the flame.	18%
RG156002	Air can move from one place to another, and its thermal energy moves with it.	15%
