The document outlines the 5 E instructional model, which serves as a framework for inquiry-based science instruction, encompassing phases of Elicit, Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate. Each phase includes specific activities designed to enhance students' understanding and application of scientific concepts and process skills. The document also references resources and activities related to Earth science and teacher assessments.
5 E instructional model
- 1. The 5 E Instructional Model A Framework for Inquiry-Based Instruction
- 2. Science Content Concepts Process of Skills of Science Science
- 3. Science Process Skills Observing Communicating – writing objectively Classifying Measuring Relating objects in space & time Predicting Inferring Controlling variables Defining operationally Experimenting
- 5. Elicit Engage Evaluate Explore 5 E’s Science Lesson Extend Elaborate Explain
- 6. Engage Activity which will focus student’s attention, stimulate their thinking, and access prior knowledge. Demonstration Reading Free Write Analyze a Graphic Organizer KWL (Know already ~ Want to know ~ Learn) This is the “elicit” part Brainstorming 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.
- 7. 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
- 8. Explain Activity which allows students to analyze their exploration. Student’s 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
- 9. 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
- 10. 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 Extend
