Description
In many years of lecturing methodology of teaching mechanics and its very important component, the energy, several problems with comprehension of the concept were realized. In this contribution we first discuss problems in understanding of students, and very often also lecturers, next we discuss the teaching approach for different levels in physics education, that is, how to teach energy in lower secondary education introducing energy for the first time, how to continue in more demanding upper secondary school, and finally, which problems remain for the university level and how to approach them.
