I used this activity as one of my sound unit science centers. We used tuning forks (from our music teacher) to experiment with sound waves and vibrations. Students were thrilled with this activity and learned so much. (I think it blew their minds, haha!) This sheet helps to guide their learning and understanding.

These cards are meant to be used as word wall cards for a classroom, but they could also be used as vocabulary flashcards.
The types of energy that I included are:
- heat
- light
-sound
-electricity
In this pack you will find the following vocabulary words, definitions, examples, and pictures:
- energy
- thermal (heat) energy
-light energy
-sound energy
-electrical energy
-temperature
-degree
-conductor
-insulator
-opaque
-transparent
-translucent
-reflect
-refract
-vibrate
-pitch
-volume
-ce
I used this activity with my class while we were working on light energy. Students hold different materials up to the light to determine if they are opaque, translucent, or transparent.
I used this as one of my science center activities during a unit on Sound Energy. Students used a simple water xylophone to explore pitch with their peers. They use the sheet to guide their learning.
I used this activity as part of my science centers for my sound energy unit. Students experiment with the idea of pitch and use the sheet to guide their understandings.
I used the bottom of this sheet as a spring board after centers to discuss what students had discovered. We filled it in as a whole group.

This PowerPoint can be used as a quiz or a simple discussion starter with your students. It includes pictures and examples of reflection and refraction and then reveals which type that it is as you click through the slides.
I gave this assessment to my students after a unit on sound and light energy. The assessment is 3 and a half pages long and includes a bonus points section also. There are 2 short answer sections, multiple choice, circling sections, labeling, a fill in with word box section. The answer key is included, too.

This sheet will allow your students to explore as they work with a cup and a flashlight to determine how light effects objects and how they can make certain kinds of shadows. This sheet would be appropriate for a light energy unit.
