This week in class, our 3rd graders will be learning about and exploring the 4 basic forms of energy.
As part of their learning, they will work through 5 stations to learn about energy and its 4 basic forms.
The students will use this Discovering Forms of Energy Activity Sheet to record and think about their learning as they explore energy.
Each station has reading from The World Book Online and a video about that form of energy. Discovering Forms of Energy Stations QR Codes
