Items that test for misconception NGM059 in this project (ASPECt) and key idea ()
Item ID Number	Item Description	How Often the Misconception was Chosen
NG083004	Energy is transferred to the air around hot food as the food cools even though the temperature of the air does not appear to increase.	9%
RG099002	After one car bumps into another car, the first car moves slower and second car moves faster because energy was transferred from the first car to the second..	8%
NG052003	Energy is transferred mechanically if one object pushes or pulls on another object and the objects move.	8%
RG097002	After one ball collides with another, the first ball moves slower because it transferred energy to the second ball when the balls hit each other.	7%
