Power Up! All About Energy!





Teaching energy is FULL of so many fun activities!  It's one of those units that kids can really get into, plus I love teaching energy! Would you like some free energy resources?  First I've provided a fun freebie to kick off your unit, then some great sites that give you online activities, as well as fun experiments to do with your class!

Enjoy!



Start with some slam-dunk videos!  This one is Bill Nye on potential and kinetic energy...it doesn't get any better!


Kids Academy does this one called: "What is Energy?  Types of energy: Light, Heat, Water, Electrical and Wind




This great site includes sections on: what is energy, energy sources, games and activities and more!



Your kids will love this one! Full of sounds, great pictures and lots of information!!



This is a really fun one! Energy games, coloring pages and activities!



Need an online energy game for centers? Try this one!



Energy 101: How is Electrical Energy Generated? This is a great video that goes over the many ways of getting electricity. It starts with the question, "How many people does it take to turn on a light bulb?"   The answer is, more than you would think!


How about some great energy task cards, PowerPoint or Digital Boom Cards for centers or stations? Check out my resource below at my TPT store.
