8 questions with a Animal Rescue theme plus a full answer key. Perfect for Grade 6 Science.
⬇ Download WorksheetStudents will be able to identify, describe, and explain how energy is transferred between objects and systems in real-world contexts.
Before Q3, pause and ask students to predict which energy transfer Zoe will use next — this activates the thermal-to-mechanical chain students explore in questions 3 through 5 and builds anticipation for Q8's resolution.
- Zoe arrives at the rescue center. She switches on a heat lamp for an injured owl. The lamp glows and warms the nest. What two forms of energy does the lamp transfer to the owl's nest? Name them.
- True or False: Zoe notices the owl's nest gets warmer over time. This means thermal energy moved FROM the lamp TO the nest. Write True or False, then explain in one sentence why.
- Zoe finds a rare find — a solar-powered tracker — on an injured sea turtle. Sunlight hits the tracker's panel. The tracker then sends a signal. Complete the energy chain: Solar (light) energy → _______ energy → _______ energy (signal).

About this Science worksheet for Grade 6
In sixth grade, students must understand how energy transfers between objects and systems to meet NGSS.MS-PS3-3; this worksheet builds that conceptual foundation through concrete scenarios requiring students to identify energy sources, trace transformation pathways, and quantify energy changes. Teachers can use this resource as formative assessment during the energy unit to diagnose whether students can apply transfer concepts to realistic situations before moving to more abstract conservation-of-energy calculations.
This printable Science worksheet is designed for Grade 6 students and covers Energy Transfer. The Animal Rescue theme keeps kids engaged while they practice essential Science skills. Every worksheet includes a full answer key making it easy for parents and teachers to check work instantly. Aligned to Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Grade 6 Science. Print-ready at US Letter size. No login required — download and print in seconds.
