Grade 4 Science students sharpen their energy vocabulary in this worksheet, with nine fill-in questions covering kinetic, potential, thermal, electrical, chemical, conduction, radiation, circuit, and vacuum. A four-pair matching task connects energy words with their meanings, helping learners build clear definitions. Hints and detailed answers support understanding so Grade 4 learners can confidently use energy terms in NGSS 4-PS3 discussions and future science work.
Style:
Energy: Forms and Transfer
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The energy of motion is called kinetic energy.
2. Stored energy that depends on position or shape is called potential energy.
3. When energy changes from one form to another, we call it an energy transformation.
4. Heat moving through a metal spoon in hot soup is an example of conduction.
5. Light from the Sun reaching Earth is called radiation.
6. A path that carries an electric current is called a circuit.
7. An object with more mass and more speed has more kinetic energy.
8. A battery changes chemical energy into electrical energy.
9. Sound energy needs a material like air, water, or a solid to travel through; it cannot move through a vacuum.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
Kinetic energy
→ Energy of moving objects
Energy of moving objects
Potential energy
→ Stored energy from position or shape
Stored energy from position or shape
Thermal energy
→ Energy felt as heat
Energy felt as heat
Electrical energy
→ Energy that flows through wires
Energy that flows through wires
