Natural phenomena are observable events that occur in the universe and that we can use our science knowledge to explain or predict. The goal of building knowledge in science is to develop general ideas, based on evidence, that can explain and predict phenomena.
Engineering involves designing solutions to problems that arise from phenomena, and using explanations of phenomena to design solutions.
In this way, phenomena are the context for the work of both the scientist and the engineer.
WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE AT BETHEL?
WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE AT BETHEL?
Students will be investigating an overarching phenomenon for a unit.
Example: How can the same species of fossil be found on different continents?
As students explore and learn to explain this phenomenon they will add information to their progress trackers to track their learning. Students should be thinking about and recording:
The purpose of each activity/lab
What happened? Observations/ Evidence/ Key Information
What do you think caused these observations or patterns?
How does this help us figure out the phenomenon question or the NGSS standard?
Academic language - What vocabulary terms did you learn in this activity?
