SUMMARY:Energy-Interaction Diagrams: Fostering resources for productiv
 e disciplinary engagement with energy\, Physics Education Innovation F
 orum\, Dr. Benedikt Harrer\, San Jose State University
DESCRIPTION:Over the years\, numerous graphical representations have b
 een proposed that allow learners of physics to visualize energy states
  and dynamics in a particular situation. Each diagram highlights diffe
 rent aspects of energy and therefore may represent different conceptua
 lizations of energy. The Energy-Interaction Diagram is a representatio
 n for energy dynamics in a physical system that highlights energy cons
 ervation and was originally developed by the late Wendell Potter (form
 erly of the University of California\, Davis) for use in the Collabora
 tive Learning through Active Sense-making in Physics (CLASP) curriculu
 m. We have found that students’ use of the Energy-Interaction Diagra
 m can evoke productive resources for disciplinary engagement with ener
 gy. I will show this with the example of a student group trying to mak
 e sense of a puzzling scenario: Two billiard balls on parallel incline
  tracks with different widths – why does one ball roll down the ramp
  faster than the other? In particular\, these students activate the re
 sources indicator reasoning\, systems thinking\, metaphor use\, and me
 chanistic reasoning while modeling this scenario with the Energy-Inter
 action Diagram.
