Introduction to Phenomena
In this workshop, you explore the use of science phenomena to focus activities and lessons aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and similar K-12 Framework-based standards.
We start by reviewing the structure and intent of 3D standards. We then dig into phenomena, exploring criteria, characteristics, and pitfalls. We evaluate examples of stand-alone phenomena and phenomena associated with published resources and discuss their merits. In the end, you will be able to determine if a curricular resource aligns with your state’s standards and whether it actually contains a phenomenon.
Special Online sessions of Introduction to Phenomena involve eight contact hours, plus time spent on assignments. We customize the content a bit based on enrollment.
