5-E Instructional Model

The document outlines the 5 E instructional model framework for inquiry-based science instruction. It describes the five phases - Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate - and examples of activities for each. It also discusses types of questions to ask students and provides examples of how the model could be applied to an earth science lesson.

Engage

Activity which will focus students attention, stimulate their thinking, and access prior knowledge.

Student asks questions such as, Why did this happen? What do I already know about this? What have I found out about this? Shows interest in the topic.

Demonstration Reading Free Write Analyze a Graphic Organizer KWL Brainstorming

Explore

Activity which gives students time to think and investigate/test/make decisions/problem solve, and collect information.

Perform an Investigation Read Authentic Resources to Collect Information Solve a Problem Construct a Model

Explain

Activity which allows students to analyze their exploration. Students understanding is clarified and modified through a reflective activity.

Student Analysis & Explanation Supporting Ideas with Evidence Structured Questioning Reading and Discussion Teacher Explanation Thinking Skill Activities: compare, classify, error analysis

Elaborate

Activity which expands and solidifies student thinking and/or applies it to a real-world situation.

Problem Solving Decision Making Experimental Inquiry Thinking Skill Activities: compare, classify, apply

Evaluate

Activity which allows the teacher to assess student performance and/or understandings of concepts, skills, processes, and applications.

Any of the Previous Activities Develop a Scoring Tool or Rubric Performance Assessment Produce a Product Journal Entry Portfolio

Types of Questions

Attention Focusing: Have you seen? Do you notice? Measuring & Counting: How many? How long? Comparison (for sharper observation): In how many

ways are your seeds alike and how do they differ?

Action: What happens if you place your pill bug in

damp sand? you pinch the seedleaves off a young plant?


Problem-posing (more sophisticated, follows exploration & understanding, not a good first question): Can you

find a way to make your plant grow sideways? Can you separate salt from water? Can you make a sinking object float?
