Using the 5E Learning Cycle Sequence with Carbon Dioxide
Schlenker, Richard M.; Blanke, Regina; Mecca, Peter
Science Activities: Classroom Projects and Curriculum Ideas, v44 n3 p83-94 Fall 2007
The authors used the 5E learning cycle (engage, explore, explain, extend, and evaluate) and a pulmonary carbon dioxide mystery to introduce eighth grade students to the study of chemistry. The activity engages students in measurement, data collection, data analysis, media and internet research, research design, and report writing as they search for answers to questions that develop as a result of the engagement activities they conduct.
