This item is an model assessment for introductory physics on using energy bar graphs and flow diagrams to illustrate the Law of Conservation of Energy. It is an example of the Modeling Instruction pedagogical method. This resource is part of a larger collection of curriculum material for introductory physics courses.
This resource is part of 3 Physics Front Topical Units.
Topic: Conservation of Energy
Unit Title: Teaching About Energy Energy is a scalar quantity and cannot be represented by vector arrows; thus it can be difficult to assess student understanding of the Law of Conservation of Energy. In this model worksheet, students create energy bar graphs and flow diagrams to analyze what happens as energy is transferred and converted. Link to Unit:
