Classroom Agreements:
1. Listen when someone is
speaking.
2. Raise your hand before
sharing.
3. Respect each other’s ideas.
4. Do your best in every
activity.
5. Be kind and supportive to
everyone
Ice Breaker: “Read My Lips Challenge”
Mechanics:
1. Divide the class into 2 groups
2. Each group chooses one participant to come in front.
3. Teacher whispers or shows a random words
4. The chosen participant will mouth the word
silently( no voice).
5. Their group must guess the word within 15 seconds.
6. If correct, 1 point. If wrong, the other group may
“steal”.
The 5E Model

Lessons
Siangco, Edrian O. Teaching Science in
BEED-II Elementary Grades
Learning
Objectives
• Discuss distinct features of the 5E Model
• Describe each element of the 5E Model
• Examine a sample lesson plan using the
5E Model
• Gather and revise instructional plans
using the 5e Model
• Interview teachers on its effectiveness
• Make generalizations and
recommendations based on findings
Historical
In 1962, educators J. Myron Atkin
and Robert Karplus proposed a 3-
Background
phase learning cycle:
-Exploration
-Concept Introduction
-Concept Application
This informed the development
of the 5E Model
What is the 5E
Model?
• Developed in 1987 by the Biological
Sciences Curriculum Study
• Based on Constructivist learning theory
• Promotes collaborative, active learning
• Ideal for introducing new concepts over 2-3
week units
Overview of the 5E
Phases
• Engage- Stimulate interest and
prior knowledge
• Explore- Encourages hands-on
learning
• Explain- Facilitate discussion and
conceptual understanding
• Elaborate- Apply new knowledege
to different situations
• Evaluate- Assess learning and
understanding
Engage
• Active prior knowledge
• Stimulate curiosity and
inquiry
• Strategies: KWL chart,
opening questions,
Conceptual maps, Hands-
on activities, Fieldwork or
Explor
• e
Students investigate
through guided inquiry
• Experience the concept
firsthand
• Strategies: Lab
experiments, Group
observations, Sharing
findings with peers
Explai
• n
Teacher guides concept
clarification
• Students verbalize
understanding
• Strategies: Interactive
discussions, Multimedia tools,
Online readings
Elaborat
• Students applyelearning in new
contexts
• Reinforce and expand
understanding
• Strategies: Students
presentations, Research projects,
additional investigations
Evaluat
•
e
Assess comprehension and
performance
• Formal and informal
assessments
• Strategies: Peer/ Self-
assessment, Performance
task, Quizzes, Infographics,
Game-based exams
Sample 5E-Based
Lesson Plan
• Include a simplified example or
snapshot of a 5E lesson plan
• Example: ‘States of Matter’
• Show how each phase aligns with
lesson activities
Gathering & Revising
Plans
• Collect examples of 5E
science plan
• Practice revising a traditional
plan using the 5E model
• Ensure each E is well
presented and student-
centered
Teacher
Interviews
• Ask teachers about
effectiveness of 5E
model
• Questions: What are its
advantages and
challenges?
• Summarize key insights
Generalizations &
Recommendations
• Students are more engaged and
retain knowledge better
• Learning is deeper and more
collaborative
• Recommend integration across
subjects
• Review lesson plans periodically
Thank You!
Questions

“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I
may remember, involve me and I
learn.”
-Benjamin Franklin
Embrace the 5E Model today!
Group activity: “Guess the E!”
Mechanics:
1. Divide class into 2 groups.
2. Teacher reads a scenario/activity.
3. First group to raise their hand and answer the
correct E phase( Engage, Explore, Explain,
Elaborate, Evaluate) gets a point.
4. Group with the most points will be the winner.
