An Energy Storyline
Thursday June 5, 2025 9:15am - 11:45am CDT
Conservation of energy is a fundamental principle of the Universe. Yet, teaching and applying conservation of energy is rife with inconsistencies, unarticulated assumptions, and untenable definitions which leaves students without a strong framework which they can use to analyze any system. In this workshop, we will walk through an "energy storyline" starting with the energy of a particle, then the energy of a system of interacting particles, and then the energy of a macroscopic system. Although I will use a number of examples in physics, this workshop will apply to all physical, life, and earth sciences, and it will be useful for all science teachers.
