What turned out to be THE BEST of all the curriculum we used was the Electric Kitbook.  In fact, I liked it so much, I’m going to do a review about it soon at The Curriculum Choice.

At the end of the unit, I gave the kids a test that you can find on my Homeschool Launch page.  I’ve been enjoying adding more tests to the curriculum this year.  It keeps everyone on their toes!

Below is the resource list that’s been in my sidebar.  I hope you find some treasures the next time you need to plan an energy/electricity unit!
