5 E’s LESSON PLAN FORMAT
This is the lesson plan
ENGAGE PHASE
ROLES
This step sets the stage for our lesson by capturing Teacher:
our students' attention and piquing their curiosity. It poses problems, asks
is crucial to begin with a hook, a real-world questions, assess prior
connection, or a thought-provoking question to spark knowledge, causes doubt
their interest. By doing so, we create an emotional Student:
connection and activate their prior knowledge, call up prior knowledge,
making the learning experience more relevant and has interest, experiences
enjoyable. doubt, identifies problem to
solve, decisions to be
 promote curiosity made, writes questions
 find out prior knowledge/ misconceptions and problems, self-reflect
 make connections between past and present
EXPLORE PHASE
Here, we encourage active learning and hands-on Teacher:
experiences. Students are given the opportunity to questions and probes,
investigate, experiment, and discover concepts on models when needed,
their own or in groups. This phase fosters critical makes open suggestions,
thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills. provides resources and
feedback, facilitates
 provide learners with common experiences exploration
related to the topic Student:
 learners design and conduct preliminary hypothesizes and predicts,
investigations and collect data explores resources and
materials, designs and
plans, collect data, builds

EXPLAIN PHASE
ROLES
After students have explored and made discoveries, Teacher:
they need to make sense of their findings. In this provides feedback to
