The balloons were blown up as much as possible, and the air outside was warmer than the air inside. When the balloons were taken outside, they heated up. The molecules inside the balloons expanded, and pushed on the inside of the balloons, until they exploded. 100 Category 3 Answer

200 The water in both cups have reached the same temperature. Category 3 Answer

The thermal energy from the hot water has flowed to the cold water. The water inside the metal cup is now the same temperature as the water in the Styrofoam cup. 300 Category 3 Answer

No, there is no more transfer of thermal energy because the water in both cups are now at the same temperature, and have reached a balance or equilibrium (equal). 400 Category 3 Answer
