On a bright, sunny day, a group of first-graders eagerly begins a science investigation called “Shadow Town.” Combining phenomena-based learning with 3D science standards helps students see science as a way to make sense of the world around them. The teacher gathers them in a circle and asks, “What causes shadows?”
