Trace the Energy Path

Become an energy investigator in this electrifying science worksheet! In each of the six examples, learners will identify the form of energy a device uses to create a new form of energy, building an understanding that energy can change from one type to another. As they analyze familiar objects, students practice using scientific vocabulary, making observations, and recognizing patterns in the way devices operate. 

Designed for fourth- and fifth-grade students, this worksheet builds a strong foundation for understanding energy transformations and the forms energy can take. By developing a concrete vocabulary for describing energy changes, learners gain the confidence and background knowledge needed for future engineering challenges and more advanced investigations into energy systems.
