Energy Transformations-SMART! Curriculum Materials

Here you’ll find worksheets, experiments and activities, and tips to help teach the material found in the Get SMART! section of this website.

The one-page worksheets review the key principles from the main thematic sections of this website. Here are some ideas for how to use them with your class:

• For younger students, use the questions to orally review basic information with the whole group.
• For older students, assign a section or sections of the site to individual students or small groups, and ask students to use the worksheets like a treasure hunt, completing them as they find the answers in each section.

After all students have completed all sections of the website, organize the class like a game show. Contestants can continue to answer questions until they get one incorrect, at which point a new contestant takes their place.

This module’s content aligns with Florida’s Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) for Physical Science within the “Big Idea” of Energy Transfer and Transformations for Grades 6 and 7. The module also addresses Forms of Energy as a foundational review from Grade 5. For the specific NGSSS learning objectives supported by this module, click here.
