What do these 7th grade energy worksheets cover?

19 printable 7th grade energy worksheets in 3 skill sets, in the order they appear on this page: electricity and magnetism; kinetic and potential energy; and heat transfer.

How do you find gravitational potential energy?

Multiply mass by g and by height, PE = m × g × h, with g = 10 N/kg in these sheets. A 4 kg rock on a 3 m wall has 120 J. Gravitational Potential Energy Calculations uses four ledges at different heights.

What are the three types of heat transfer?

Conduction passes energy through solids that touch, convection carries it in moving fluids such as air, and radiation carries it as waves that can cross empty space. Track Heat Transfer Through a House asks students to classify eight arrows on a house.

How do you charge an object without touching it?

Charging by induction does this. A charged rod pushes electrons to the far side of a neutral metal sphere, a ground wire lets some electrons leave, and the sphere keeps a charge after the rod is taken away. Charging by Induction asks students to put these stages in order.

What makes an electromagnet stronger?

In the sample data on Electromagnet Coil Strength Investigation, more turns of wire lifted more paper clips, and more battery cells did too. Students plot the data and write a claim with evidence.

7th Grade Energy Worksheets

Energy is the ability to make things change or move, and it shows up as electric and magnetic forces, motion, position and heat. There are 19 worksheets for 7th grade, each with an answer key, on electricity and magnetism, kinetic and potential energy and heat transfer. Electromagnet Coil Strength Investigation, Calculate Kinetic Energy From Mass and Speed and Design a Lunch Carrier That Limits Heat Gain are three of the sheets. Native sheets here practice MS-PS2-3, MS-PS3-1, MS-PS3-2, MS-PS3-3, MS-PS3-4, MS-PS3-5 and MS-PS1-4.
