Lesson Packages

Each lesson comes bundled into a mini package that includes:

• Teacher and student versions of the PowerPoint

• Student lesson outline in .docx format

• Videos and/or simulations embedded right into the PowerPoint for easy access

• Activities

• Assessments

How does the 5E model facilitate learning?

• It emphasizes inquiry, critical thinking, and the process of science

• Its success is backed by countless scientific studies that demonstrate its effectiveness

• It’s built around the idea that humans construct knowledge and meaning from their learning experiences. That they build upon their prior knowledge and to be effective, learning needs to be active and allow the participants to construct new knowledge from their experiences

----------------------------------

What's included?

Engagement Phase

- This could involve a short video with probing questions or a discussion based on current events, common misconceptions, etc.

- Creates interest and excitement for your students

- Asks questions and probes their initial conceptions

- Each 5E lesson in your bundle will immediately grip your students by showing a highly engaging video activity that will lead to a class discussion

Exploration Phase

- Students use and develop creative thinking skills, make observations, record results, and make connections

- My 5E bundles come with a 7-station, Lab Activity where they will gain real experiences with the topic

**Note: The lab station activities require very little preparation or materials**

Explanation Phase

- This is the instructional phase where concepts are presented to the students in a clear and applicable way

- Students develop an understanding of the content

- Observations and experiences are discussed and critiqued

- Students develop vocabulary

- Students are able to connect the content presented to previous experiences

- The 5E bundles include at least 1 lesson in PowerPoint and .PDF formats.

Elaborate Phase

- This phase involves the students completing an activity or assignment that forces them to expand their thinking and knowledge of the topic. They will propose solutions and extend their learning to new situations

- These bundles include either a digital scavenger hunt activity or a science reading activity. Both will allow your students to utilize their knowledge in new ways

**Note: These activities require no preparation or materials**

Evaluate Phase

- Your students will demonstrate their understanding and evaluate their own progress

- This phase involves the students completing an activity or assignment that forces them to expand their thinking and knowledge of the topic. They will propose solutions and extend their learning to new situations

- The evaluation section of my 5E lessons includes a quiz that will allow you to evaluate your students' topic understanding

The NRC's How People Learn has synthesized decades of research across many different disciplines about how people learn. Key findings from that synthesis include the following. First, students (people) must be interested and engaged in what they are learning and find it useful and meaningful. Second, students (people) must be actively involved in the process of teaching and learning, comparing new information to previous ideas, constructing new understandings, and quite simply changing their own minds about how the world works. And third, students (people) need opportunities to apply what they have learned to new situations, to check the completeness of their understanding, and to evaluate their own learning for themselves.

By incorporating this 5E lesson, you will provide your students with a meaningful and coherent way of learning that best suits their needs. You will also utilize technology in a way that creates order and promotes understanding.
