Cody notices that if he stirs his hot oatmeal quickly, two things happen: Much more steam rises from his oatmeal than when he does not stir it. His oatmeal cools off much more quickly than when he does not stir it. What happens to the heat energy of Cody's oatmeal when he stirs it that makes it lose heat more quickly?

Step-by-step explanation:

When Cody stirs his hot oatmeal quickly then more and more steam releases as heat energy in the form of steam that shifts from the oatmeal to the atmosphere.

As a result, the oatmeal becomes cooler at a faster rate if oatmeal is stirred quickly.

Thus, we can conclude that heat energy of Cody's oatmeal releases in the form of steam that will transfer from oatmeal to the air or atmosphere.
