Components of the 5E Instructional Model

The 5E instructional model is designed to guide educators in the instruction of scientific processes and practices. When planning for inquiry-based instruction, it is essential to be able to use and understand the structure of the 5E model. With this understanding, you will be able to adapt lesson content to fit into traditional lesson plan structures.

Include at least one formative or summative assessment that is technology-based. Note that you will adapt the information from your completed template when creating the Topic 6 “Science Lesson Plan” assignment.

Support your submission with 2-3 scholarly resources.
