• Introductions• Agenda• Goals• Food for Thought
The 5-E Model
Science and Engineering Practices
1. Asking questions (science) and defining problems (engineering)
2. Design and using models3. Planning and carrying out investigations4. Analyzing and interpreting data5. Using mathematics and computational thinking 6. Developing explanations (science) and designing
solutions (engineering)7. Engaging in argument8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information

SEP Sort
? * !Huh? My students
are supposed to
do this?
Kinda, sorta,
maybe, sometimes
They own it
Hmm. . .what’s in the box?
A Modified 5-E Lesson
•Engage: The 3 Pigs & The Scientific Wolf by Mary Fetzner•Explore: Work in Groups of 2, pick a kit, create a structure•Explain: Show and Tell, id where the simple machines are and how they work•Elaborate: ?? Any ideas??•Evaluate: ?? Any ideas??
RTB
• Reflect: When/how were you doing SEP during building of model? What other skills might use of K’NEX help Ss develop?
• Troubleshoot: How can we make sure to Ss get the most out of K’NEX? Where might we run into problems? What do we need to plan for?
• Brainstorm (See handout): What other areas might you pull K’NEX into your SLEs?
K’NEX and a Transportation Engineering Problem
Going Further with K’Nex: Creating Design Lesson/Brief (see handout)
K’necting all the Pieces
• Website Walk• Reflect• Reconnect to Goals• Please take time to complete our
survey. Thanks.
