Energy tracking & Energy story
- Representing Energy – The site provides resources to support learners in co-constructing a flexible, interdisciplinary, energy model through the process of representing the “energy story” of diverse, real-world, scenarios.
- “Energy Tracking Diagrams,” by R. E. Scherr, B. W. Harrer, H. G. Close, and A. R. Daane, Phys. Teach. 54(96), 2016 (PDF here)
- Drawings of energy: Evidence of the Next Generation Science Standards model of energy in diagrams
- Phys. Rev. ST Phys. Educ. Res. 8, 020114 (2012) - Representing energy. I. Representing a substance ontology for energy
- Phys. Rev. ST Phys. Educ. Res. 8, 020115 (2012) - Representing energy. II. Energy tracking representations
- Energy Tracking Diagrams are actually my second favorite energy representation -- my favorite favorite is Energy Theater (PDF)! But it only works in person.
- We also love Energy Cubes (PDF) and Energy Animations (PDF).
- AR6 Climate Change 2021 - Sixth Assessment Report
