Energy Sources Worksheet: Circle the Energy Sources!

How to use this worksheet

Look at the pictures on the page together and talk briefly about what energy is, using simple language like 'something that helps things move, light up, or get warm.' Ask your child to circle the pictures that show a source of energy, like the sun, a battery, or wind. Skip over pictures that aren't energy sources, and talk about why they don't count. Once circling is complete, have your child write the numbers stepwise in the section provided, reviewing the count together.
