Goals • Brief Explanation • Short Group Activity • Example of Lesson Plan
The 5 E’s • Engage • Explore • Explain • Extend • Evaluate
Engage • “Priming the Pump” • Assessment of prior knowledge • Example: Using props or figures that may directly or indirectly correlate with lesson http://dali.urvas.lt/forviewing/pic29.jpg
Explore • Describes initial investigation • Lab activities • Examples: ubiquity experiment, olfaction experiment, tablecloth pull experiment
Explain • Understanding what has happened in the Explore stage • Hardest Stage/ Very Important • Example: Explanation of experimental results • Diving board
Extend/ Elaborate • Taking the knowledge learned and relating it elsewhere • Similar instances, different circumstances • Example: Factors affecting bacterial survival vs. factors affecting human survival
Evaluate • Assessment of Understanding • Example: Test students knowledge in some form, to determine if they grasped the concept. • How it’s done can make a world of difference
Activity • Assuming 8th graders have just completed a lesson on the periodic table, create an introductory lesson of a unit on atoms using the 5E’s • Focus on introducing basic atomic components: proton, neutron, electron.
Lesson Example • INTRODUCE BACTERIA DAY: • ENGAGE: • -Ask students what they remember from the lesson about the growth conditions of Bacteria. (clicker activity or short matching exercise) • EXPLORE: (Talk about the importance of sterility) • -Provide the students with sterile swabs and allow them to investigate their environment. (the greenway, areas around the school, themselves) • -Have students document where swabbed • -Materials needed: Sterile swabs, agar plates, petri dishes, incubator, and hydrogen peroxide. • EXPLAIN: • -Explain to the students how scientists determine what they find. • -Explain growth media and fit the needs of the type of organism they want to grow. • -Explain the importance of sterility. Have the students explain ways that scientist can prevent contamination. • EXTEND: • -Before growth media, what did scientist do to grow bacteria? • EVALUATE: • Test students on the importance of sterility and the practices that they can do to prevent contamination.

Tips for Success • Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance • Start Slowly • Be Patient, and allow the students to think for themselves • Try to get more faculty involved
