Welcome to the Iowa Science Phenomena website! The goal of this website and service is to create, curate, collect and share a growing collection of user-generated, media-based, standards aligned, science phenomena resources for use in Iowa classrooms, as well as support Iowa teachers as they continue to implement phenomena-based and place-based teaching practices.
There are several ways you can be involved in this project:
- Browse or search the site to find an Iowa-based phenomenon to align to your learning standard.
- Grow your phenomena skills and knowledge with our Iowa Science Phenomena Teacher Guide.
- Equip your students to engage their own curiosity and be phenomenon-finders for themselves with the Iowa Science Phenomena Student Guide.
- Capture and share your phenomena to the project.
