As students are introduced to the anchor phenomenon, they will likely connect it with something more familiar to them.These phenomena provide opportunities for students to explore and investigate, becoming better equipped to explain different aspects of the anchor phenomenon. Lessons throughout a module (or unit) focus on supporting phenomena, also known as investigative phenomena.Along the way, anchor visuals, such as a driving question board, provide a view into students’ thinking as they build their knowledge about this phenomenon and make sense of the world around them. Students engage in making sense of the phenomenon, applying their skills and knowledge to explain important aspects of it and acknowledge unexplained aspects. The anchor phenomenon is a rich, multilayered scientific phenomenon that requires multiple lessons to explain.Scientific phenomena are observable events that can be explained or predicted through scientific understanding. That said, you may still have lingering questions, like “What even is a phenomenon?” Let’s back up and begin there.
You may already see how exploring rich, authentic phenomena engages students and piques their interest in learning science. The Anchor Phenomenon of Wayang Shadow Puppetry drives students’ investigation and learning as they work to answer the Essential Question: How do puppeteers use light to tell stories during wayang shows? Where can we find shadows? Can we see during a blackout? Can we see objects inside a cave without a light source? What do these questions have in common? They are Phenomenon Questions that frame students’ thinking about light in Level 1 of PhD Science ®.
