The 5 E Model in Planning Science Lessons

The 5E model is an instructional model for teaching science that consists of 5 phases: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate. [1] It was developed in 1987 based on earlier research on effective learning cycles. [2] Each phase has a distinct purpose - Engage piques student interest, Explore allows hands-on exploration, Explain facilitates discussion, Elaborate applies concepts, and Evaluate assesses understanding. [3] Sample teaching strategies are provided for each phase.

The 5 E Model in Planning

Science Lessons
Learning activities
• In 1962,educators J. Myron Atkin and Robert Karplus
propositioned that effective learning cycles involve three
key elements: exploration,concept introduction and
concept application. The findings of Atkin and Karplus
informed the creation of the 5E model. This teaching
model focuses on providing students opportunity to
understand a concept over time through a series of steps or
phrases: ENGAGE,EXPLORE,EXPLAIN,ELABORATE,
and EVALUATE.
• The 5E model was developed in 1987 by the Biological
Sciences Curriculum Study.
Learning objectives
At the end of the lesson l,you are expected to:

• Discuss distinct features of the 5E model


• Describe each of the elements of the 5E model
• Examine a sample lesson plan usng 5E model
• Gather examples of 5E model instructional plans
• Revise an instructional plan using 5E model
• Intervie teachers on the effectiveness and applicability of 5E model in
the classroom
• Make generalizations and recommendations based on interview
findings.

5 E’s
Science Lesson

Elaborate Explain
Engage

Activity which will focus student’s


attention, stimulate their thinking,
and access prior knowledge.
Explore

Activity which gives students time to


think and investigate/test/make
decisions/problem solve, and collect
information.
Explain

Activity which allows students to


analyze their exploration. Student’s
understanding is clarified and
modified through a reflective activity.
Elaborate

Activity which expands and solidifies


student thinking and/or applies it to a
real-world situation.
Evaluate

Activity which allows the teacher to


assess student performance and/or
understandings of concepts, skills,
processes, and applications.
