About this listen

In this episode of The Science Teacher’s Playbook, we’re unpacking one of the most powerful tools in 3D science instruction: phenomena. Whether it’s a broken phone screen, a changing population of moths, or polluted local waterways, phenomena are what make science feel real to students.

You’ll learn:

  • What makes a great phenomenon (and what doesn’t).
  • How to use phenomena to spark curiosity and drive inquiry.
  • Where to find high-quality examples.
  • Real-life classroom strategies to make phenomena the anchor of your lessons.

We’ll wrap up with a free planning tool to help you evaluate or design your own phenomena—and a bonus paid resource that gives you ready-to-go unit starters aligned to NGSS/STEELS.

Whether you’re new to phenomena or looking to level up your use of them, this episode will help you turn curiosity into meaningful science learning.
