Over the course of this class, I learned a lot about the 5E learning cycle and how to apply it to teaching science in high school. One thing that I liked about the 5E style is that it makes learning engaging for students and keeps them interested in the process of learning more than other, more traditional styles do. Another thing that I like about the 5E style is that using it will give students some real-world examples of the concepts covered in class. I think that this style also works well for giving students a chance to explore the information themselves before they have it explained to them, which fosters their inquiry-based learning and allows them to become more interested in their pursuit of knowledge.
One of the biggest challenges that I had with using the 5E learning style was was giving too much information to students before the explain phase. A way that I overcame this was through practice with using engages and explores that made students ask the questions and find the information themselves before I gave them the explanations of the concepts.
