Forms of Energy Task Cards

Forms of Energy Task Cards are a no-prep, fun way to review the forms of energy (thermal, radiant, mechanical, and electrical), energy transfer, and energy transformations.

Forms of Energy Task Cards includes 28 task cards, a student response worksheet, and an answer key. Questions are multiple choice, multiple select, and fill-in-the-blank.

What will students review with these task cards?

With these Forms of Energy Task Cards, students will review:

• The definition of energy
• That energy cannot be created or destroyed
• Forms of energy, including thermal, radiant, mechanical, and electrical
• How energy can be conserved, transferred, and transformed into other forms of energy

What standards are covered?

These Forms of Energy Task Cards are specifically aligned with the Virginia Science SOL 5.2, although they closely match most science standards related to the forms of energy (thermal, radiant, mechanical, and electrical), energy transfer, and energy transformations.

This unit has been updated to align with the 2018 Science SOLs AND the 2025 Science Instructional Guides.

Is a digital version included?

These Forms of Energy Task Cards resource includes BOTH a digital version and a PDF version. The digital version can be accessed through Google Forms and allows students to easily self-check their work. You can also use the Google Forms task cards to track student progress.

When you purchase this product, you will be given access to a link that will allow you to open the file in Google Forms. You’ll then share that file with your students.

What if I want to create my own science task cards?

Four blank task cards are included so that you can create additional questions, if needed. For these task cards, you will print the blank cards and write your questions directly on the cards.
