Instructional sequences are more coherent when students investigate compelling natural phenomena
(in science) or work on meaningful design problems (in engineering) by engaging in the science and
engineering practices. We refer to these phenomena and design problems here as ‘anchors.’ What
makes for a good phenomenon to anchor an investigation?

WHAT ARE PHENOMENA IN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING?

Natural phenomena are observable events that occur in the universe and that we can use our science
knowledge to explain or predict. The goal of building knowledge in science is to develop general
ideas, based on evidence, that can explain and predict phenomena. Engineering involves designing solutions to problems that arise from phenomena, and using explanations of phenomena to design solutions. In this way, phenomena are the context for the work of both the scientist and the engineer.
