About this reader

This Grade 4 physical science reading passage teaches students about the relationship between motion and energy, aligned with NGSS standard 4-PS3-1. Students discover that the faster a given object is moving, the more energy it possesses. Through relatable examples like rolling balls, thrown objects, and everyday collisions, students build foundational understanding of how speed affects energy. The passage uses simple, age-appropriate language to explain PS3.A: Energy and Motion. Students learn to observe energy by watching what happens when moving objects hit other objects. This audio-integrated passage includes Spanish translations, differentiated versions for varied reading levels, comprehension activities, writing prompts, and graphic organizers. Perfect for introducing kinetic energy concepts, the passage helps students connect speed to energy directly through concrete comparisons they can visualize and test. Teachers can use this resource to prepare students for hands-on investigations about motion and energy relationships in physical science.
