A phenomenon is simply an observable event.  In the science classroom, a carefully chosen phenomenon can drive student inquiry.  Phenomena add relevance to the science classroom by showing students science in their world.  A good phenomenon is observable, interesting, complex, and aligned to the appropriate standard.
