“For students to develop an integrated understanding of energy that
applies both inside and outside of school, we must clearly show students
how energy can provide a powerful perspective from which they can
reliably and consistently view phenomena from any scientific context or
discipline,” writes Jeffrey Nordine, the book’s editor.
To help teachers explain energy consistently, the book’s three main
sections cover the following:
Understanding why energy is an important concept, what students need
to know about it, and how to bring the concept in line with the Next
Generation Science Standards
Using five central ideas about energy to teach the subject
consistently across the life, physical, and Earth and space sciences,
and in all grades
Providing the professional development and systemic support teachers
need to adopt this book’s approaches
Teaching Energy Across the Sciences, K–12 is accessible and easy
for teachers to use, even if they don’t have a strong science
background. It clarifies—rather than complicates—existing energy
instruction and what students need to know.
