5e Lesson Plan Template

The document provides a template for planning a NGSS lesson, including sections for engaging students, allowing them to explore a topic, explaining concepts, elaborating on the material, and evaluating student understanding; the sample lesson focuses on teaching students about gravitational force and how it causes objects with different masses to accelerate differently when dropped. Key aspects of the lesson include a video, group research on gravity and related terms, a demonstration with students pushing each other, and a coin stacking challenge activity.

LESSON PLAN – 5-E Model


ENGAGE: Clicking the link on the slide presentation page entitled, “Engagement,” play the video for students. After replaying the
video again so that all students can notice what is happening within the video, with the leaves, trampoline, and person. After this,
turn the video off. Ask students to think about what they notice and what they wonder, and then discuss this with their table
partner. Give the students a few minutes to talk and then return to learning.

EXPLORE: Students will work in groups of four to research on devices, the reasons why the leaves did not move or bounce back
as far as the person did. Words students may look up are: gravity, distance, mass, and force. Students will share their research
among their group as they go, as they are working together to find the reason.

“The leaves had less mass than the person, so that when she jumped from a high distance, the leaves did not accelerate as much
as the mass that was coming down onto them from the body.”

EXPLAIN:
Students lined up from wall to wall, shoulder to shoulder, touching. At one end, a person pushed their body into the person next to
them. This will make all of the students’ bodies move. Once it has gone to one end, it will be done again. It will happen on both
sides, twice. Once finishing this experiment or demonstration, the class will discuss what we noticed in this experiment, such as,
“Everyone moved from one person pushing.”

Vocabulary:
Acceleration: the measurement of change in an object's velocity
Distance: how far one thing is from another thing. It is also a measure of the space between two things.
Gravitational Force: the force of attraction between all masses in the universe; especially the attraction of the earth's mass for
bodies near its surface.
Gravity: a force which tries to pull two objects toward each other.
Inertia: the resistance of an object to any change in its motion, including a change in direction.
Mass: the amount of matter an object contains.
Newton’s First Law: An object at rest will continue to stay at rest unless it is disturbed.
Sir Isaac Newton: Lived from: 1643-1727, discovered: gravity, three laws of motion, calculus and the reflecting telescope.
ELABORATE:
Coin Stack Challenge: At the end of the lesson, students will receive fifteen pennies and a single playing card. There will be ten
pennies underneath the card, and five pennies on top of the card. The goal of the students is to remove the card without moving
the pennies off of the card. Students will be given 10 minutes to try and do this on their own, before working together as a class to
solve this challenge. Show the class that the card can be removed through flicking the card.

EVALUATE:
Students will complete an exit ticket by identifying one thing they have learned from the lesson by writing it on a post-it note.This
exit ticket will be placed on the classroom door once finished . For example, something that I learned is that gravity is a force
which tries to pull two objects toward each other.
