Educators Explore Innovative "Theater" as a Way to Learn Physics

In a study released last week, education researchers found that personifying energy allowed students to grapple with difficult ideas about how energy works.

Contrasted with more traditional lectures and graphs, this innovative instructional technique may be useful for teaching about other ideas in physical science, which commonly deals with things that change form over time.

Energy is a very important concept across many fields of science, and is a key focus of the new national science standards.

Energy is also a central player in several global issues, such as climate change and fuel economy.

However, energy is a challenging concept to fully understand.
