What are the 5E’s? Engagement Exploration Explanation Elaboration Evaluation
Create Your Own Cell Division Osmosis Probability Statistics
Engagement Grab Learner’s Attention Identify Misconceptions Assess Prior Knowledge Sell the lesson to the students!
Engagement Ideas Interesting/Thought Provoking Problem Real World Connection Audio or Video Story Discrepant event Cause Disequilibrium or Doubt Demonstration
Exploration Pose questions that allow students to test ideas Allow students to work together Students take charge of their own learning Use critical thinking to solve problems Teacher serves as guide
Exploration Ideas Solve a problem Construct a model Design or perform an experiment Use authentic data to answer open questions or make decisions
Explanation Students share results Clarify the results of the Exploration Teacher guided discussion Correct misconceptions
Explanation Ideas Lecture and do notes if needed Class discussion Have students explain significance to each other Peer analysis Readings
Elaboration Apply concepts learned in exploration to another situation Real world applications Connect to previous or future lessons Can be eliminated under time constraints
Elaboration Ideas Connect to a current event Bring in a professional who uses the concept being learned in their job Show a computer simulation of the concept Can be similar to exploration activities
Evaluation Formal or Informal Check for comprehension Can occur at different points in the lesson
Evaluation Ideas Exit Slip Ranking Task Writing Prompt Presentation Test Questioning
5E Benefits Easily allows checkpoints for comprehension Sets up for inquiry in the classroom Increases intrinsic motivation (students driven by a “need to know”) Facilitates collaborative learning Provides opportunities for critical thinking
Notes About 5E Can easily be stretched to multiple days Can be used with other instructional methods
