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.
