It’s Heating Up! Let’s Sort Heat Sources

Unlock an exciting world of hands-on science exploration with our heat sources sorting activity. This printable educational resource has been designed by a teacher to captivate students’ attention and facilitate their understanding of different heat sources. EngageUse this teaching resource when learning about heat energy.

In this sorting activity, students need to sort different everyday items or experiences into three different heat sources:

• Kinetic Energy – The friction created when two surfaces rub against each other produces heat energy. Some examples include rubbing your hands together, sliding down a slippery dip or jumping on the spot.
• Electrical Energy – Electrical appliances can convert electrical energy into heat energy. Some examples include hair dryers, light bulbs, and stovetop elements.
• Chemical Energy – Heat energy can be produced as a result of a chemical reaction. Some examples include burning wood, digesting food, and mixing chemical substances.
