The information below is also available in: What is a 5E instructional model?
This model describes a teaching sequence that can be used for entire programs, specific units and individual lessons. Energy4me lesson plans support the 5E constructivist learning cycle, helping students build their own understanding from experiences and new ideas. The 5Es represent the five stages of a sequence for teaching and learning: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaboration and Evaluate. The 5E model was developed by The Biological Science Curriculum Study (BSCS). Pique students’ interest and get them personally involved in the lesson while pre-assessing prior understanding.
Get students involved in the topic so they can develop their own understanding. Provide students with an opportunity to communicate what they have learned and figure out what it means. Allow students to use their new knowledge and continue to develop a deeper and broader understanding. Order Matters: Using the 5E Model to Align Teaching with How People Learn.
