What is the 5 E Model of Science Instructions?
Paula Weaver

Alternatively, teachers may begin by presenting students with a specific topic (e.g.,
holidays). Upon deconstructing that topic with the teacher, students will likely
discover its component parts are derived from separate disciplines (e.g., social
studies and science). Teachers can point out the cross-curricular connections and
use the integrated curriculum as a jumping-off point for further discussions about
how topics and subjects are related.
Using content and skills from a variety of subjects to enhance your curriculum not
only encourages students to explore a topic from different angles; it helps reinforce
what they have already learned. Young children learn best when they have direct,
hands-on experiences and when they can relate what they learn to what they
already know.
Prior the convention I thought teachers were to the so prefect and smart. But
through evaluation teachers get to look back and fix a lesson plan or an activity
they introduce to the class, it can be good or bad. Teachers are constantly making
mistakes, but they learn from it. Through evaluation, you get a chance to listen from
others about the mistakes that you are making and how to improve, and the things
that you are fantastic at and how it is helping your students. Teachers are not only
teaching but they are learning new things every day. The 5 E Model help teachers
plan better and help to student understand what the lesson is, and why it is
important.
