Science Assessment ~ Topics ~ Energy: Forms, Transformation, Transfer, and Conservation ~ Misconception NGM066

When objects are in contact an equal amount of energy is transferred between them, this causes no change in temperature (AAAS Project 2061, 2017).

Items that test for misconception NGM066 in this project (ASPECt) and key idea ()
Item ID Number	Item Description	How Often the Misconception was Chosen
NG027003	When a cold object is in contact with a warm object, thermal energy is transferred from the warm object to the cold object.	35%
NG025004	While a student holds a cold piece of metal in her hand, the metal will get warmer because thermal energy is transferred from the student's hand to the metal.	15%
NG026004	While a student holds a cold piece of metal in her hand, the metal will get warmer because thermal energy is transferred from warm objects to cold objects when the objects are touching each other.	14%
