Make energy science easy, visual, and fun with this What Is Energy? Coloring Pack. This printable science resource introduces children to basic energy concepts using large black-and-white coloring pages, kid-friendly explanations, and simple “Did You Know?” facts on every page.
Students will learn that energy is the ability to make things move, change, or work. They will explore kinetic energy through moving examples like bikes, balls, wind, and water, and potential energy through stored-energy examples like a rock on a hill, water behind a dam, a battery, and a stretched rubber band. The pack also shows how we use energy every day for light, heat, travel, communication, entertainment, and work.

This resource is perfect for introducing energy before moving into renewable and non-renewable energy sources, fossil fuels, electricity, and environmental science topics.
This pack connects to the “What Is Energy?” section in the Non-Renewable Energy chapter of the verified environmental science textbook, where energy is introduced as the ability of a system to do work and is grouped into kinetic and potential energy.
