Hi Teacher!
We know how it is. You want your students to succeed. You want them to enjoy your subject the way that you do. And you want to see them engaged.
At Phenomena, we believe that engagement is the first step to STEM success. Phenomena experiences are approachable and fun, catering to even the most reluctant learners. We aim to present concepts intuitively so they are accessible to all students.
Phenomena is here to help. We make it easy to engage every student and give them the chance at success they deserve.
Sincerely,
the Phenomena Team
Here are a handful of ways that teachers use Phenomena Experiences in their classroom:
As a “do now” at the start of class
As a front-of-class demonstration
As the intro to a Socratic discussion
As a virtual / remote lab experience
As an alternative to a textbook assignment
As an extra credit option
We’d love to hear from you. Send us a note and let us know what your Phenomena experience is like.
The Pythagorean Theorem II
Now that they are familiar with Pythagorean Theorem, this experience shows students how to manipulate the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of either leg of a right triangle.
The Pythagorean Theorem
This experience will show students how to read the free-body diagrams that can be drawn on a half Atwood machine, provide a deeper understanding of Newton’s Second Law, and show how to calculate net force and tension.
Half Atwood Machines
This experience will show students how to read the free-body diagrams that can be drawn on a half Atwood machine, provide a deeper understanding of Newton’s Second Law, and show how to calculate net force and tension.
Full Atwood Machines
This experience will show students how to read the free-body diagrams that can be drawn on an Atwood machine, provide a deeper understanding of Newton’s Second Law, and show how to calculate net force and tension.
Relative Velocity
This experience demonstrates to students the idea of relative velocity, and shows them the impact of switching the frame of reference.
Diminished Triads
After completing this experience, students will be familiar with the sound of a diminished triad, and will be able to name the 3 notes in any diminished triad, given the root note.
Centripetal Force
Students will understand that centripetal force is a center-seeking force that causes objects to move along a circular path; that it depends on an object’s velocity, mass, and spin radius; and how to calculate it.
Minor Triads
After completing this experience, students will be familiar with the sound of a minor triad, and will be able to name the 3 notes in any minor triad, given the root note.
Bitwise Operations
Learn how different bitwise operations work. Specifically, you will understand AND, OR, XOR, and NOT.
Reference and Coterminal Angles
Learn the difference between reference and coterminal angles as well as positive and negative angles.
Molality and Change in Freezing Point
Learn about how to visualize and calculate molality. Using the freezing point and molality, determine how much salt to use to melt snow!
Molecular Geometry
Students will learn how electrons and atoms are arranged about a central atom and the different molecular geometry that results from it!
Solving Equations with Multiplication and Division (3/4)
Students extend their knowledge of “solving for x” by manipulating equations using multiplication and division!
Solving Equations with Addition and Subtraction (2/4)
Students will use addition and subtraction to solve simple algebraic equations, using a hands-on, interactive tool to help them visualize it.
Principles of Equations (1/4)
A first lesson in algebraic equations, this experience will show students what an equality is and how they can manipulate them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Evaporation
This experience contains an amazing evaporation simulation that will help students better understand such a complex process.
