4th grade energy and electricity videos

Grades 3–5 (ages 8–11) · 18 videos · Checked and refreshed daily

Quick answer

In 4th grade (ages 9–10), children learn that energy moves through sound, light, heat and electric currents, and that faster objects have more energy. Start with Kids Academy "What is Energy?" and Generation Genius "Energy Transfer for Kids", then circuits and Science Max experiments. Play all on repeat, or loop one demo.

What does this 4th grade energy unit cover?

It covers forms of energy, energy transfer in collisions, speed and energy, electricity and simple circuits, static electricity and how generators turn motion into electric current. By the end a child should explain where energy goes and build or sketch a simple working circuit.

How does RepeatWatch help with science lessons?

Set an A–B loop on one experiment, such as a circuit or generator demo, and pause to predict what will happen. Slow a fast explanation to 0.75×, save each experiment on keys 1–9, and stop after a few loops to keep sessions short.

Frequently asked questions

What grade learns about energy and circuits?

In the US, the NGSS 4th grade energy standards (4-PS3) cover energy transfer, speed and energy, and electric currents. Many schools build simple circuits that year. Grade levels vary by country and school.

Are the FuseSchool and Khan Academy videos too advanced?

They are pitched a little older. The circuits, conservation of energy and kinetic energy lessons are short and clear, but best watched after the Generation Genius and SciShow Kids basics, with pauses to talk about each step.
