What educators are saying
Great activity to reinforce energy transformation. They were engaged for the whole lesson and even sparked their curiosity even further.
My student enjoyed using this resource to apply their knowledge of potential and kinetic energy. The resource was engaging and I loved hearing my students collaborate how energy is transformed, using this resource.

Description
3 WAYS TO ASSIGN, including a digital Google Slides option! Students evaluate real-world examples of energy transforming from one form to another.
⭐ Get this resource at a HUGE discount in our Energy Unit! ⭐
There are 3 ways to assign this review activity:
- Picture Cards Activity: Students look at 30 different pictures and identify the energy transformations occurring. They complete a worksheet to record their answers. (Cards look best when printed in color.)
- Matching Words/Phrases Activity: Students match title cards like "Log Burning" to transformation cards like "Chemical Energy to Thermal Energy and Radiant Energy". There are 24 matches total (48 cards). Students glue the matches into their notebooks when complete. (No color copies required.)
- Google Slides Version: Students view 33 different pictures and identify the energy transformations occurring.
Please note: Most of the examples in these 3 versions overlap, so it's best to pick just one of the ways to assign it versus doing all three.

NGSSMS-PS3-2
Develop a model to describe that when the arrangement of objects interacting at a distance changes, different amounts of potential energy are stored in the system. Emphasis is on relative amounts of potential energy, not on calculations of potential energy. Examples of objects within systems interacting at varying distances could include: the Earth and either a roller coaster cart at varying positions on a hill or objects at varying heights on shelves, changing the direction/orientation of a magnet, and a balloon with static electrical charge being brought closer to a classmate’s hair. Examples of models could include representations, diagrams, pictures, and written descriptions of systems. Assessment is limited to two objects and electric, magnetic, and gravitational interactions.
NGSSMS-PS3-5
Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object. Examples of empirical evidence used in arguments could include an inventory or other representation of the energy before and after the transfer in the form of temperature changes or motion of object. Assessment does not include calculations of energy.
