General pedagogical point: I get a lot of mileage out of the analogy:
energy <==> money
It's not a perfect analogy, since energy is much more strictly conserved
than money is -- but my students typically have a reasonable intuition
about monetary transactions as a zero-sum game. This gives me a starting
point. As the saying goes, learning proceeds from the known to the unknown.
