What is 5E?

The 5E Lesson Design model has been around for many years. Essentially it gives a lesson planning structure to the constructivism philosophy. Used mainly in the beginning by science, many other disciplines have adopted this framework as well.

The 5Es are:

Engage- a small engaging experience that grabs students' attention. Explore- an experience of the concept to be learned. Explain- making sense of the experience, finding patterns, answering guiding questions. Elaborate- an additional activity where students will apply their new knowledge. Evaluate- a formative, hinge or summative assessment. May be formal or informal.
