Energy conservation in dissipative processes: Teacher expectations and strategies associated with imperceptible thermal energy
Research has demonstrated that many students and some teachers do not consistently apply the conservation of energy principle when analyzing mechanical scenarios. In observing elementary and secondary teachers engaged in learning activities that require tracking and conserving energy, we find that c...
