Classify energy transfer
Grade 5 Physical Science students analyze different forms of energy transfer in this worksheet, practicing the skill of classifying whether energy moves by conduction, convection, or radiation. Teachers can use it to consolidate conceptual understanding after instruction on the energy strand, or as a formative assessment before a quiz. Students develop the vocabulary and analytical habits they will need as the energy topic grows in complexity through middle school.
Learning objectives
- Classify examples of energy transfer as conduction, convection, or radiation
- Explain the mechanism by which each type of energy transfer occurs
