  1. The 5 E Instructional Model A Framework for Inquiry-Based Instruction

  2. Process Skills of Science Concepts of Science Science Content Observing Communicating Classifying Measuring Relating objects in space & time Predicting Inferring Controlling variables Defining operationally Experimenting

  3. Science Process Skills • Observing • Communicating • Classifying • Measuring • Relating objects in space & time • Predicting • Inferring • Controlling variables • Defining operationally • Experimenting

  4. Engage Evaluate Explore 5 E’s Science Lesson Elaborate Explain

  5. Activity which will focus student’s attention, stimulate their thinking, and access prior knowledge. Demonstration Reading Free Write Analyze a Graphic Organizer KWL Brainstorming Engage 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.

  6. 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 Explore

  7. 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 Explain

  8. 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 Elaborate

  9. 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 Evaluate

  10. 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?

  11. Attention-focusing questions Have you seen? Engage Do you notice? Measuring & Counting and Comparison Questions How many? How long? Evaluate Explore In how many ways? 5 E’s Science Lesson Action & Problem- Solving Questions Elaborate Explain What happens if… Can you find a way to…
