LESSON PLAN 5-E Model

ENGAGE: Opening Activity Access Prior Learning / Stimulate


Interest / Generate Questions:

I will review the last lesson regarding food chain using power point.
Then let them see different example of food chain and ask them if the
chain is in correct order. Then allow them to put in order those who are
in wrong cycle and explain.
EXPLORE: Lesson Description Materials Needed / Probing or
Clarifying Questions:
I will explain to them what is prey and what is predator. Then
give example of animals that belongs to each category.
EXPLAIN: Concepts Explained and Vocabulary Defined:
I will give each group different animals in live in the same
habitat but I will give each group different habitat. Then tell
them to do a food chain and identify which animal is the
predator and which the prey.
Vocabulary: (prey, predator).
ELABORATE: Applications and Extensions:
I will give each student a worksheet and let them identify and
write which is the prey and which is the predator. After they
finish this activity I will let them write their own food chain and
explain just in two sentences.
EVALUATE:
We will answer the worksheet together and correct some
mistakes and misconceptions.
Elaborate Further / Reflect: Enrichment:
I will ask them some questions and I will also allow them to ask
questions from me for those they didnt quite understand. I will
also give them homework to find different animals and classify
them as predator or prey.
