Compare observations of potential energy and describe the pattern you notice
Middle-school students compare observations of potential energy across different scenarios and describe the patterns they notice, building analytical skills at the heart of Physical Science in grades 6-8. Teachers can use this worksheet to guide structured scientific reasoning after a hands-on demo or reading, pushing students to articulate evidence-based patterns. It supports the Energy and Waves strand and develops the observation and inference skills required by science standards.
Learning objectives
- Compare observations of potential energy across different objects or positions
- Identify and describe patterns in how potential energy changes
