What does “phenomena” even mean from an NGSS perspective? After clearing that question up, we engage in observing an image of a phenomenon. We fuel our curiosity and wonder by brainstorming questions about the phenomenon. Even if we think we know what it is, can we dig deeper; is there something about it that we do not know? What, why, and where create just some of the questions that may spontaneously arise. With pastels and paper in one hand, and an evocative image in the other, we create a visual art piece in response to our selected phenomenon and chart our questions about it. As we take a gallery walk to view each other’s images and questions, we appreciate that this is how all good science starts; by being curious and asking questions!
