DESIGNING AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS LESSON PLAN REGARDING INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING THROUGH 5E LEARNING CYCLE

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to help science teachers teaching an electrical circuits science lessonthrough inquiry-based learning. A lesson plan based on inquiry-based learning techniques hasbeen prepared to inspire teachers. In addition, computer simulations and websites were used tosuggest new applications for teachers. Transferring energy within a system as electrical energy isexplained through electrical circuits science concept. Meanwhile, designed lesson plan isfollowing an approach for supporting inquiry-based learning with using 5E learning model,gaining to construct simple electrical circuit ability by students, and eliminating common studentmisconceptions. The study is concluded to indicate possible objection about the structure of thelesson plan in the argument section.
