a name tent that includes the
following:
• Your name
• The number of children and pets you
have
• Something interesting about you
• Your school and grade level you

• Your computer screen name

3. Activity 1:
The Flying
Granny

4. The 5E Model
Is a student-centered
inquiry-based model of
instruction that incorporates
a variety of engaging
activities which motivate
students, builds curiosity,
and enhances
their conceptual
understanding from a
scientific approach.

5. The 5Es:
•Engage
•Explore
•Explain
•Elaborate
•Evaluate

6. The Flying
Granny Activity
An Engaging Activity
Discuss What skills would be
necessary for students to carry
out this same activity
successfully
Discuss What things will the
teacher need to facilitate to make
the activity successful?

7. A Closer Look at
the 5Es:
Analyze and Compare the
Exemplar/EITG 5-E Lessons
from CScope
Discuss & Write
characteristics of the “5Es” on
the posters around the room
Think About: the teacher/student involvement, the
types of activities, the types and levels of questions,
the environment, the alignment to the SE

8. Look at the CSCOPE 5E
Resource, discuss what
characteristics were not
observed in these specific
lessons?

9. NOTES:
• All 5Es do not necessarily occur every day
• A formative assessment should be
incorporated into all parts of the 5E model
• Teachers direct teach is VERY minimal:
deliberate questioning strategies should
guide discussions
• Any one of the Es may occur more than
once within a complete lesson cycle
• A complete lesson cycle will include all 5Es
even if it is over the course of days
• A 5E lesson must align to the SE and MUST
eventually reach the depth of the verb
• Guided practice must be embedded into
the lesson before independent practice is
assigned to evaluate students- “Practice
makes permanent”- Sousa
