Modeling Curiosity and Wonder in the Elementary Classroom
The new science TEKS are here! With the new standards, comes a shift from learning about science to figuring it out using 3D learning and sensemaking lessons. Phenomena is a driving piece of upcoming instruction, and when used correctly, it will increase student inquiry and help students to see a connection between science in the classroom and science in their world. We will explore different types of phenomena, how to choose a phenomenon that is appropriately aligned to the standards you will be teaching, multiple ways to use it with elementary students and questioning strategies to get your students wondering! I will share some of my personal experiences in implementing and using phenomena in my classroom this past school year.

Power of Phenomenon: Using Curiosity to Drive Equitable Instruction
As learners, we naturally crave to know more about the world around us. When we connect student learning to real-world phenomena, student interests/experiences, and current events, we can foster authentic engagement in the classroom. In this interactive session, we share practical ways to launch lessons with phenomena, make learning more relevant, and increase student motivation and achievement.
