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.
Binary Numbers (Computer Science)
Become a hero of ones and zeros! In our Binary Numbers experience, write binary numbers by flipping flags and stacking turtles. Learning binary doesn’t have to be a bore -- at Phenomena your learning will soar!
Systems of Equations (Algebra)
It’s the sequel everyone was asking for… hot on the heels of Modeling Linear Equations, make room for our new Systems of Equations experience! Learn this difficult topic with ease through our engaging interactive illustrations. Build intuition through experimentation, and learn how to compare phone plans, caterpillars, and sprinting turtles.
Projectile Motion (Physics)
What goes up must come down... but why? In our Projectile Motion experience, see in real time how gravity operates on projectiles. Adjust your initial velocity, and let it fly! Take aim at bowls, goals, and hoops, and see how the velocity of a projectile changes over time. Test your skills and learn a thing or two -- right here at Phenomena!
Logic Gates (Computer Science)
Why bother with logic gates? They’re the basis of modern technology, including the screen you’re looking at! Play with switches and predict logical outcomes to solve fun challenges. Learn the truth behind truth tables. We’re confident this experience will light up your day!
Simple Variables (Algebra)
If you’re new to Algebra, you’re probably wondering about the letters in the equations. Those are variables. They’re like magic numbers that could be any number. Play with them here and see how they work.
Intro to Integrals (Calculus)
What exactly is an integral? In simple terms, it’s just the area of a graph. In this experience, you’ll explore integrals of simple functions and graphs you draw yourself. And now you know Calculus!
Drawing Derivatives (Calculus)
Tackle our scariest topic yet -- derivatives in calculus! Understand this infamously difficult topic with ease. This simple drawing game will have you conquering calculus in no time. Enter, if you dare! #derivatives #calculus #math #spookyscary #halloween #drawing #mathgame
Modeling Linear Equations (Algebra)
Use algebra in real life -- for real! Build linear equations to solve real-world problems. Whether you’re on the run, spending your money wisely, or building the tallest ice cream cone ever, linear equations are here to help! #linearequations #algebra #functions #running #finances #money #phoneplan #icecream #tallesticecreamcone #realworld #problemsolving
Tug of Force (Physics)
It’s a food fight! Learn how forces can interact with one another, oftentimes to accomplish a task -- in this case, stealing someone else’s dinner! Visualize net force and learn how to calculate it. Satisfy your appetite for learning and become a force to be reckoned with!
Stoichiometry (Chemistry)
What exactly is stoichiometry anyway? In our Stoichiometry experience, you’ll get hands-on experience with this simple and powerful concept in chemistry. (Hint: it’s all about proportions and ratios.) Play with reactants and products, scale them up and down and achieve balance in your equations and perhaps in life as well.
Intro to Functions (Algebra)
Become a fan of functions with Intro to Functions! Learn how functions operate on inputs and produce outputs. Start by making your own function and then play with numbers to solve a handful of function puzzles. Visualize this important concept in a fun new way!
Intro to Acceleration (Physics)
Get up to speed on Acceleration. In our Intro to Acceleration experience, you’ll play with acceleration and time, and see how they affect velocity and distance. You’ll also learn how to do these calculations yourself. Accelerate your learning to new heights!
Slope Intercept (Algebra)
Face a famous formula head-on in Phenomena’s new Slope Intercept experience! Manipulate slope and Y intercept in real time to complete fun challenges. Mountains will be climbed, turtles will be saved… and equations will be linear.
Balancing Equations (Chemistry)
Dive headfirst into balancing chemical equations! See firsthand how matter is conserved in chemical reactions! Visualize how reactants combine to form products, and learn how every single atom should be accounted for on both sides of a chemical equation. Perhaps Thanos was talking about chemistry when he said, ‘Perfectly balanced... as all things should be’.
Intro to Vectors (Physics)
Encounter vectors in the wild, courtesy of Phenomena! Draw with magnitude and direction; draw with X and Y components! On the course, or in the parking lot -- vectors are everywhere, more than you thought!
