Which Form of Energy?

Which Form of Energy? (Science Sort)

Eight everyday scenarios, one write-in line each. Students read each one - a rolling skateboard, a glowing lamp, steaming cocoa, electricity in a wire, a ringing doorbell, a battery, the Sun's atoms, a rolling bowling ball - and write which form of energy it shows, using a word bank of all seven forms. It directly practices the identify-the-form skill that anchors TEKS 6.8B.

What's Included

• 1 student page: 8 illustrated scenario cards with a write-in line, plus a word bank of the seven forms and a Sum It Up fill-in
• 1 teacher key page with the form and a one-line reason for every card, plus a Big Idea box
• Letter-size PDF, no prep

How It Helps You Teach

• Covers all seven forms in one activity: mechanical, radiant, thermal, electrical, sound, chemical, and nuclear
• Write-in format (not multiple choice) pushes students to recall and name each form
• The alphabetical word bank keeps students identifying, not just matching by position
