Energy tracking diagrams drawn by physics teachers in a study examining equity in energy. The authors developed the diagrams in alignment with the Next Generation Science Standards to show the movement of energy within a power production system. Their latest work asks physics teachers to expand the analysis from factors within an energy system (power plant) to the variety of interconnected systems outside, from raw materials to the state of the land after decommissioning.
