Query: Connecting Three Pivotal Concepts in K-12 Science State Standards and
  Maps of Conceptual Growth to Research in Physics Education   This paper describes three conceptual areas in physics that are particularly
important targets for educational interventions in K-12 science. These
conceptual areas are force and motion, conservation of energy, and geometrical
optics, which were prominent in the US national and four US state standards
that we examined. The four US state standards that were analyzed to explore the
extent to which the K-12 science standards differ in different states were
selected to include states in different geographic regions and of different
sizes. The three conceptual areas that were common to all the four state
standards are conceptual building blocks for other science concepts covered in
the K-12 curriculum. Since these three areas have been found to be ripe with
deep student misconceptions that are resilient to conventional physics
instruction, the nature of difficulties in these areas is described in some
depth, along with pointers towards approaches that have met with some success
in each conceptual area.
