This Resource Letter draws on discipline-based education research from physics, chemistry, and biology to collect literature on the teaching of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics in the three disciplines. Thermodynamics is central to our understanding of physics, chemistry, and biology. However, in most cases, these three disciplines treat the topic in distinct ways. The primary goal of this Resource Letter is to provide a list of peer-reviewed journal articles reporting research on teaching and learning of thermodynamics in physics, chemistry, biology, or any combination of those fields. A second goal is to delineate the differences and draw attention to places of potential overlap in the thermodynamics education research done in each of the three disciplines. We have focused on introductory-level thermodynamics (first-year physics, biology, and chemistry), but acknowledge that there is potential overlap at upper-level classes as well. While the overlap among the disciplinary literatures is limited at present, we hope this Resource Letter will spark more interdisciplinary interaction.
