Description

These Potential & Kinetic Energy science doodle notes help middle school students explore how energy is stored and transferred — including the difference between potential and kinetic energy, real-world examples, and diagrams of energy changes — through engaging visuals and structured graphic organizers. Students actively process key physical science concepts using visual note-taking, labeling, and critical thinking prompts, making abstract ideas easier to understand and remember. This resource works especially well as science centers activities, sub plans, early finisher work, review practice, and interactive notebook pages.

What are doodle notes??

Doodle notes are a visual note-taking strategy that will increase student engagement, focus, creativity and concept retention. Recent studies have found that doodling or taking visual notes while studying science material can help enhance learning, engagement, and reasoning. Teaching students to use doodling in class will help them remember more, focus on the topics at hand and generally enjoy the lessons more.

Lead your class through the worksheet with the included reading and powerpoint, or assign independently and review when they are finished. This assignment would also make great sub plans!

Your students will be completely engaged with this doodling activity!

This is the printable version of the Potential & Kinetic Energy ~ Science Doodle Notes. For the digital version click here.

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSSMS-PS2-3
Ask questions about data to determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces. Examples of devices that use electric and magnetic forces could include electromagnets, electric motors, or generators. Examples of data could include the effect of the number of turns of wire on the strength of an electromagnet, or the effect of increasing the number or strength of magnets on the speed of an electric motor. Assessment about questions that require quantitative answers is limited to proportional reasoning and algebraic thinking.
NGSSMS-PS2-5
Conduct an investigation and evaluate the experimental design to provide evidence that fields exist between objects exerting forces on each other even though the objects are not in contact. Examples of this phenomenon could include the interactions of magnets, electrically-charged strips of tape, and electrically-charged pith balls. Examples of investigations could include first-hand experiences or simulations. Assessment is limited to electric and magnetic fields, and limited to qualitative evidence for the existence of fields.
