As part of the Iowa PBS Science Phenomena program, our class teamed up in pairs to develop teacher guides for incorporating Iowa-specific phenomena into the classroom. Classmate Brittany and I took a video of fog in Decorah, Iowa and drew connections to the NGSS focused on obtaining and combining information to describe climates in different regions of the world. We also included a progression of guiding questions, and potential classroom applications including creating fog in a jar using every-day materials. This phenomena guide is accessible to anyone through the Iowa Science Phenomena website, demonstrating its usefulness to the teaching profession.
