Energy Transformation Stations

Energy Transformation Stations Worksheet (Grade 6 Science, TEKS 6.8B)

Review all four TEKS 6.8B examples on one page. This station sheet has four picture cards: a flashlight circuit, a fox eating a rabbit, a drop tower ride, and a leaf in sunlight. At each station students identify how energy starts, how it ends, and whether it was transferred or transformed.

What's Inside

• A Big Question box: "How is energy conserved in different systems?"
• Four station cards with doodles, one for each TEKS 6.8B example
• Activity 1: Students circle the starting and ending energy at each station
• Activity 2: Two questions that compare the stations
• A visual answer key with answers marked in red

How Teachers Use It

Use it as a station review, in small groups, or as practice for TEKS 6.8B. The sheet takes about 10 minutes, needs no prior knowledge, and prints clearly in black and white.

This worksheet is part of the Reading in Science series for grade 6. It supports TEKS 6.8B: describe how energy is conserved through transfers and transformations in systems such as electrical circuits, food webs, amusement park rides, or photosynthesis. It is one of seven connected TEKS 6.8B sheets that follow energy through systems. The unit big idea is that energy can be stored, transferred, and transformed, but it is not created or destroyed.

Why It Works

Each sheet opens with a Big Question, teaches the key terms in plain words with simple black-and-white doodles, and then asks students to use only what the page taught. Simple whole-number energy units make conservation visible, and the visual answer key lets teachers check work fast.
