* A Rationale* For Your Information* Writing Objectives* 5E Explanation* 5E Example* Questions

*A Rationale

- engages students and keeps them busy- helps students make connections between prior knowledge and new ideas - real-world application- works well in conjunction with Inquiry Based Learning

*For Your Information

* The 5E Lesson Plan Format can be implemented in other curriculum * 5E Lesson Plans can take one class period or several class periods* 5E Lesson Plans need to have clearly identified objectives

*Writing Objectives

Objective – a statement that describes what students will be expected to learn by the end of a class period.

SWBAT…IOT…Students will be able to… in order to…

Example: SWBAT compare selective breeding and natural selection IOT explain how both processes lead to variations within organisms.

*5E Lesson Plan - Engagement

* Creates interest in topic* Connects prior knowledge with what students can do* Students ask questions after this step

Examples: - video clip - photo- teacher demonstration

*5E Lesson Plan - Exploration

* Hands-on/minds-on activities (with guidance)* Teacher lists “big idea” questions to encourage student focus

Examples: - lab- brainstorming & designing- interpreting a text, diagrams, or data charts

*5E Lesson Plan - Explanation

* Combination of Engagement and Exploration* Students explain their understanding * Teacher poses higher-order thinking questions

Examples: - answering higher-order thinking questions- completing/creating a graphic organizer- provide examples of what they have learned

*5E Lesson Plan - Extension

* Application of what the students have learned* Builds on or extends their understanding* Teacher challenges students to apply what they have learned

Examples: - make predictions about how this relates to unit- write a conclusion paragraph (Sci. Method) - homework

*5E Lesson Plan - Evaluation

* Assessment (objective) * Provides an opportunity to see if the students “get it”* Provides an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of the lesson

Examples:- informal assessments- Exit Ticket/Slip- students evaluate “sample work”

*5E Example

Unit: Energy, Electricity, & Magnetism

Topic: Kinetic and Potential Energy

Objective: Students will be able to identify examples of kinetic and potential energy in order to differentiate between kinetic and potential energy.

Level: 6th Grade (Ages 11 – 12)

Duration: 45 minutes (1 class period)

*5E Lesson Plan - Engagement

* Ask: Does anyone know what a pendulum is? * Select a “brave” student to stand in front of the pendulum. Have class observe the pendulum demonstration. * Ask: Why did the pendulum did not hit the student in the face?

There are two basic types of energy, kinetic and potential. The word kinetic comes from the Greek word kinetos which means "moving.” Therefore, kinetic energy (K.E.) is simply described as energy of motion. If an object is moving, it has kinetic energy. Two factors that affect the amount of kinetic energy an object has are mass and velocity (speed). The other basic type of energy is potential energy (P.E.). Potential energy is the opposite of kinetic energy. If kinetic energy is energy of motion, potential energy is energy that exists even when an object is at rest. It can be simply described as stored energy or energy that has the potential to do work. Potential energy can be the result of an object's position, shape, or chemical make-up. Kinetic energy is the result of potential energy being converted to action. A specific type of potential energy that describes energy of position is known as gravitational potential energy (G.P.E.). Potential energy can be stored in any object just because it occupies a higher position. The higher an object is the more G.P.E it has. The kinetic energy resulting from the conversion of gravitational potential energy to an object's movement is readily visible. Furthermore, a simple relationship exists. A falling object has its greatest amount of kinetic energy when it is traveling its fastest.

*5E Lesson Plan - Explanation

Students will be creating a three-part foldable to help them understand the differences and similarities between potential and kinetic energy. Their foldable must include: similarities, a description of each form of energy, and examples.

*5E Lesson Plan - Extension

1. Students will be shown various pictures via PowerPoint that demonstrate kinetic and potential energy. As a class they will identify which picture demonstrates each type of energy. 2. The other extension will be tonight’s homework Energy Basics WS which requires the students to identify different parts of an amusement park as either containing potential or kinetic energy.

*5E Lesson Plan - Evaluation

1. Summarize the lesson with the students. Ask: What did they learn? What is the difference between potential and kinetic energy?  2. Students will be completing the Day 1 Exit Ticket - Energy: Kinetic or Potential. I will review the first question with them and how to answer it. Students will have five minutes to complete the exit ticket; after that I will collect it from them.
