Hi, I am a student at Wilmington College, and I am currently taking a Science Methods course that is highly phenomena based for lessons. What we have covered so far is that we, as teachers, should us phenomena to introduce new topics to students. With that, as you choose what you will be using for a phnomena, pick an image, video, or activity that will create an interest in your students. You want to be able to allow students to ask questions about it. A great way to do this is to follow any introduction of a phenomena with a notice and wonder chart where the students can fill it out with anything that they saw or picked up on in the phenomena, and to write down any, even if slightly off topic, questions that they have about the phenomena. Then, throughout your lesson, tie information back to the phenomena, their notices, and the questions the students had.
