Energy Transformation with a Top

In this examples of energy worksheet, students complete the definitions to 9 different types of energy. Students write out an example of each type next to each definition.

Combine science and reading skills with a reading comprehension exercise. Kids read four paragraphs about energy conversion and answer some reading comprehension questions about the information they have read.

Second graders look at different types of energy. In this energy lesson, 2nd graders define energy and the difference between kinetic and potential energy. They see examples with falling books and a slinky.

Students explore kinetic and potential energy. In this energy lesson, students launch toys cars from ramps in order to examine the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy. Students collect data and graph the results.

Kids learn about kinetic energy in the science of physics. The energy of motion can be calculated using mass and velocity. The standard unit is the joule. How it is different from potential energy.

Kids learn about potential energy in the science of physics. The energy of position and state can be calculated using mass, gravity, and height. The standard unit is the joule. How it is different from kinetic energy.

Expose students to this introduction to several different forms of energy.

Trying to plan an engaging elementary science unit on natural resources? Conserve your energy! This five-part series of lessons and hands-on activities has exactly what you need to teach young scholars about the importance of conservation.

Harness the power of rubber bands of all things. A hands-on activity has scholars design and build paddle boats. They learn how the elastic potential energy of rubber bands can be converted to the kinetic energy associated with motion.

Convert energy within a can. Learners build a can that suspends a weight inside the can via a rubber band. The pupils roll the can away from them as the rubber band wraps around itself. The force of the band unwinding brings the can back...
