Fry, Margaret; Dimeo, Leo; Wilson, Craig; Sadler, Jo; Fawns, Rod
Australian Science Teachers' Journal, v49 n1 p36-43 Mar 2003
Presents an Energy and Change unit developed to assist teaching and learning of why things happen. Uses a series of abstract diagrams that represent thermodynamic change to connect seemingly different situations. Diagrams are intelligible to students, scientifically consistent, useful to teachers, and integrate within science courses. (Author/NB)
