The 5E's is an instructional model based on the constructivist approach to learning, which says that learners build or construct new ideas on top of their old ideas. The 5 E's can be used with students of all ages, including adults. Each of the 5 E's describes a phase of learning, and each phase begins with the letter "E": Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate. The 5 E's allows students and teachers to experience common activities, to use and build on prior knowledge and experience, to construct meaning, and to continually assess their understanding of a concept. In this model of learning, students learn in five sequential phases i.e. Engagement- Exploration-Explanation-Elaboration-Evaluation.

5. I. Engagement Phase
Students are engaged in the classroom through
different learning tasks

6. II. Exploration Phase
The students have
an opportunity to
get directly involved
with the phenomena
and materials.

7. III. Explanation Phase
Explanation is the point at which the learner begins
to put the abstract experience and clarify their
mis-conception through discussion in the classroom

8. IV. Elaboration Phase
The Elaboration phase of this learning cycle provides an
opportunity for students to apply their knowledge to new
situations, which may include raising new questions and
hypotheses to explore.

9. V. Evaluation Phase
Students to assess their understanding and abilities
and provides opportunity for the teacher to evaluate
student progress toward achieving the learning
objectives for the activity

10. Example

11. Subject : Geometry Class: IX
Topic : Length of segment parallel
to either X or Y axis.
Technique : 5 E Model

12. I. Engage

13. II. Explore

14. III. Explain

15. IV. Elaborate

16. V. Evaluate

17. Premises
• The preconceptions shape how they assimilate new learning.
• To develop competence in an area of inquiry, students must have a
deep foundation of knowledge.
• Students must be taught explicitly to take control of their own
learning by defining goals and monitoring their progress toward
meeting them.
• Each phase of the 5E’s has a specific function and contributes to the
teacher’s coherent instruction and to the learners’ formulation of a
better understanding of scientific concepts.
• Students’ construction of knowledge can be assisted if teachers use
sequences of lessons designed to challenge students’ current
conceptions and to provide them time and opportunities to
reconstruct their knowledge.

18. Conclusion
The 5E Model of Science Instruction is the best way to
achieve a depth of scientific understanding. It
transcends mere recitation of science facts and gets
students to think scientifically.
