15
Engaging Learners

The goal of this phase is to capture the students’ attention and interest.

Two important things about this phase, the engagement need not be a full lesson, but usually it is because of the need to surface and assess students’ prior knowledge
16
Exploring Phenomena

In the exploration phase, students engage in science performances with time and opportunities to resolve the disequilibrium of the engagement experience. The exploration lesson or lessons provide concrete, hands-on experiences where students express their current conceptions and demonstrate their abilities.
17
Explaining Phenomena

The scientific explanation for phenomena is prominent in this phase. The concepts, practices, and abilities with which students were originally engaged and subsequently explored, now are made clear and comprehensible.
18
Elaborating Scientific Concepts

The students are involved in learning experiences that extend, expand, and enrich the concepts and abilities developed in the prior phases. The intention is to facilitate the transfer of core ideas, crosscutting concepts and practice to novel phenomenon related to the engage phase.
19
Evaluating Learners

Students receive feedback on the adequacy of their explanations and abilities. Clearly, informal, formative evaluations occurs from the initial phase of the instructional sequence.
