Tobin, Roger G.; Lacy, Sara J.; Crissman, Sally; Haddad, Nick – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2018
We report a case study of model-based reasoning in which a small group of fourth-grade students analyzes the energy flow when a solar panel is used to power an electric motor that spins a propeller. In developing their explanation of energy flow, the students draw on a general model of energy developed collectively by their class in the course of…
