In this session, a physics and chemistry teacher with over 40 years of combined teaching experience will share their different journeys towards the 3-dimensional teaching and learning called for by the NGSS. The goal of this session is to ignite discussion of all participants about successes and failures in movement towards NGSS to better equip all to continue to grow towards true NGSS alignment.

Phenomena are science superpowers that transform otherwise dull lessons into a mystery students are excited to unravel. Come hear how real-world phenomena are used to drive engagement and enhance student learning of important scientific concepts. This session explores integrating real-world phenomena into high school biology and chemistry. Discover how CRISPR technology and wildfire impacts are used to inspire inquiry and help students do the work of professional scientists. Come with "phenomenal" ideas to share.
