Project Phenomena

Screen Shot 2017-07-31 at 3.15.22 PMNOTE: This has been modified slightly since I originally posted this.

OVERVIEW: As many states, districts and schools move forward with implementation of the NGSS we all invariably encounter the idea of using phenomena to anchor our units of instruction. There are many great phenomena resources and I wanted to add another to the list- Project Phenomena is a Google site run through the San Diego County Office of Education where you will find a variety of searchable phenomena with information about recommended grades, NGSS PEs, and links. NOTE: Scroll to the bottom of the page at the link to see the database of phenomena.

PURPOSE: Project Phenomena is a worthwhile addition to ngssphenomena.com  and other resources as we continue to design NGSS-based units of instruction that are driven by engaging and anchoring phenomena. Project Phenomena is nicely organized and provides clear information with each possible phenomena.

AUDIENCE: Curriculum developers, teacher teams, PD providers, etc
