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.

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.

F = MA

Through interaction and experimentation, this experience will provide students with a conceptual understanding of F = MA, such that they can solve all kinds of problems with it.

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!

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!

“I love using Phenomena's Experiences in my classroom. They are great as both a review of information or as a preview of new topics. My students enjoy the interactive and visual aspects of the Experiences, and I love the depth of information presented in them.”

Morgen Perez
MS Science Teacher
Huntsville, AL

“Students are excited about moving through advanced concepts at their own speed. When we use the Experiences, students talk to each other and make suggestions, which allows students to call each other in and engage with the material in a communal way!”

“Simulations are the best tool for learning and Phenomena provides the opportunity for students to engage with instructional simulations. The Experiences give students a concrete format of what it means to think like a scientist and do scientific work.”

Natali Barreto

“Phenomena is a great online resource that allows students to play around with different variables and see the effects in real time. The Experiences are challenging while still being attractive and colorful, which is great for my middle school students!”

Frederick Kahn
