Description
Teach your middle school science students all about sources of electrical energy with this digital learning unit featuring a reading passage and learning activities! Everything your students need to integrate sources of electrical energy into their science knowledge is included.
ย
What’s Included
- a preview page to activate student schema before reading
- 5 interspersed review pages to give the brain time to reflect on what it is learning
- 41 digital flashcards for repeated practice to strengthen neural networks
- a 10 question self-grading quiz for real-time feedback
- 11 information pages with picture supports
- video links to give students choices in learning the material
Topics Covered in Sources of Electrical Energy
- generators
- renewable and nonrenewable energy sources
- fossil fuels
- nuclear energy
- hydroelectric energy
- solar energy
- geothermal energy
- tidal energy
- wind energy
- biomass energy
These digital learning activities are designed based on the latest brain science research to help every student in your class build strong neural networks related to electricity and magnetism so that they can apply this knowledge later.
First, students complete a preview page to activate their existing background knowledge related to the sources of electrical energy. Then, they read about electrical energy examples to understand the different ways we generate electrical energy. Interspersed review pages help students move the new information from their working memories to long-term memory.
After students have learned about the sources of electrical energy, they need to practice remembering the information. Flashcards, comprehension questions, and a self-grading quiz give them plenty of opportunities to practice with the information so that they can remember it when they need it.
I also provide video links for students who need additional help or students who finish early.

I also have digital science units on a variety of other science topics. They all follow the same format as this FREE digital science unit on the sources of electrical energy. Each digital science unit is designed to build students’ background knowledge on science topics so that they can add to their existing neural networks and increase their science knowledge.
