The Energy Project at Seattle Pacific University has developed representations that embody the substance metaphor and support learners in conserving and tracking energy as it flows from object to object and changes form.…
Conserving Energy in Physics and Society: Creating an Integrated Model of Energy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
Resource
The second law of thermodynamics is typically not a central focus either in introductory university physics textbooks or in national standards for secondary education. However, the second law is a key part of a strong…
