4 Innovations
1. Create curiosity with Mysteries
2. Teach concepts with the 5E learning cycle
3. Teach skills with Gradual Release of
Responsibility
4. Maintain motivation with Showmanship

• The teacher is on center stage.
A problem, a phenomenon or a question is presented.
Students’ suggestions and concepts can be addressed, students‘ curiosity
is aroused, the importance of the issue can be discussed, learning
objectives are formulated, …
Engage
• Now the students are at the center of the action.
They plan an enquiry, collect data to solve the problem, and prepare a
report to present their work.
Explore
• Again students are in the center of the action.
They use the data they have collected to solve the problem and report what
they did and try to figure out the answer to the problem.
The teacher can introduce new vocabulary to label what the students have
already figured out.
Explain
• The teacher can give students new information that extend what they have
been learning in the earlier parts of the learning cycle. The teacher can also
pose new problems that students solve by applying what they have learned.
