1. PowerPoint, Guided Notes and Assessment

Do you need a resource to introduce energy forms and energy transformations for your middle school physical science class? This resource contains a PowerPoint lesson with Cornell notes style guided notes and an assessment that all tie together. This resource is excellent for traditional and digital interactive science notebooks. The PowerPoint and guided notes are also included in Google Slides which make this a perfect digital resource for online learning! There is also a self-grading Google Forms assessment. This is a no prep resource!

The PowerPoint Lesson and guided notes are broken up into 4 different parts:
❔ Engage: This is a question that is used to get students thinking and engaged before the lesson begins. They answer the question in their guided notes.
☑ Checkpoints: These are questions throughout the lesson that assess what students are learning as they go through. The student's answer these questions in their guided notes. Answer key is included in the PowerPoint.
↵ Bringing it Back: This final question wraps up the lesson by tying student's new knowledge with the engagement piece.

✐Summarize! Students can summarize their learning by writing, drawing or both.

All links for the Google Slides and Google Forms are included in the resource.

The PowerPoint is editable. The titles, images and clip art are not editable.

Guided Notes:
The Cornell style guided notes follow along with the lesson. This allows the students to go through the lesson with the class as the teacher goes through the slides or they can fill it out independently if they are using the PowerPoint digitally. All the text aside from the title and cover page are editable.

Includes two cover pages for interactive notebook booklets. One in color and one in black and white.

The Google Slides version of the notes includes text boxes for students to add in their own text. A Google Slides "toolbox" is included for students to reference to for changing fonts, adding images, drawings, etc. There are even drag and drop highlighter marks for students to make their notes more interactive.

*There is an included answer key for the guided notes to be easily printed and added to a teacher's copy of an interactive science notebook.

Assessment:
The assessment contains 20 questions with a mix of vocabulary matching, short answer and multiple choice questions. An answer key is included. Everything is editable except for the title and any included clip art lip art.

A Google Slides version is included as well as a self-grading Google Forms version. The links are included in the resource.

Content covered:
⭐What is energy?
⭐Types of Potential Energy
⭐Types of Kinetic Energy
⭐Energy Transformations
⭐Law of Conservation of Energy

*Each resource is in PowerPoint format for easy editing.

2. Warm Ups

2 weeks of editable warm up slides, digital or print versions are perfect for an energy forms and transformations unit in your classroom with no prep! Everything is also available in the resource for distance learning with digital versions in google slides.
Included in this resource:
✅ 2 weeks of warm ups (10 total).
✅ 3 editable templates to fit the needs of you and your students
✅ PowerPoint Slides with the questions to project for your students
✅ Answer key

3. Task Cards

These 24 energy transformations editable task cards can be used in a classroom or digitally for distance learning through Google Forms with no prep and they are self grading! They can be easily printed, cut and laminated for use in the classroom with a ready-to-print student answer sheet.

Review vocabulary related to the EM Spectrum as well as key information.

The link for Google Forms is available in the resource. An answer key in included in the resource and in Google Forms.

Task cards can be printed 1 per page or 4 per page. The answer sheet can be printed 1 per page or 2 per page to save paper. I typically print 2 per page so they're perfect for gluing into interactive notebooks.

The text is editable in each task card but the titles and clip art are not editable.


4. Choice Board

Students have options in how they apply their knowledge of energy forms and transformations through choice. There is differentiation with the activities so students can have autonomy with their learning and presentation of knowledge.

All student submissions can be used for online distance learning!

This editable choice board can be used in an in-person classroom or through distance learning online and is editable to suit the needs of you and your students. Students can also submit these to you digitally!

Options include:

✅ Creating a video

✅ Creating a poster or PowerPoint

✅ Children's story with narration

✅ Inventions or prototypes

✅ Demonstrations

✅ Writing a story

✅ and more!
