Grade 4 Science · Energy and Waves
Build Grade 4 Science skills with five 10-question practice tests on energy forms, energy sources, energy transformations, waves, light, sound, and heat.
These Grade 4 Science practice tests help students identify energy forms and sources and explain how energy moves or changes. Students also study how waves carry energy and how light, sound, heat, and electricity behave in everyday systems.
Look for evidence of motion, vibration, light, heat, electricity, or a stored source. Ask where the energy begins, how it moves, and whether it changes form. For wave questions, identify what is vibrating and how the wave carries energy.
