Mr. D felt so alone

1st year teacher with no existing curriculum.

No mentor teacher.

Up at 4 am every day to create the day's lessons.

“PHENOMENA”

“By centering science education on phenomena that students are motivated to explain, the focus of

learning shifts from learning about a topic to figuring out why or how something happens.

For example, instead of simply learning about the topics of photosynthesis and mitosis, students are

engaged in building evidence-based explanatory ideas that help them figure out how a tree grows.” (NGSS)

Use the Quickwrite to put discuss

(1) Why phenomena-based learning is important.

(2) An anchoring phenomena that you might use in the first week of summer instruction

Mr D.’s collaborative team reframed the erosion lesson sequence around a phenomenon. Let’s look at their collaborative lesson sequence:

Short Lecture

Witness it yourself:

Hands-on

Worksheet with 48 step-by-step instructions

Jigsaw where students become experts on a different type of engineering solution

Explore a physical model of beach erosion

Draw a pictorial model focused on energy/matter flow

Information comes when there is a need to know

Students discover process during hands-on rather than verify lecture.
