The  5  Es  

E   Description  

Engagement   1.   The  teacher  will  ask  the  students  if  germs  are  good  or  bad  for  us.  [bad]  
2.   The  teacher  will  ask  students  to  describe  some  ways  that  we  can  prevent  
germs  [washing  hands,  covering  mouth  when  sneezing]  
3.   The  teacher  will  tell  students  that  they  will  be  watching  a  video  about  ways  to  
prevent  the  spread  of  germs.

4.   The  teacher  will  ask  about  ways  to  prevent  the  spread  of  germs  that  they  
heard  in  the  video.    
5.   The  teacher  will  ask  students  to  explain  why  practicing  personal  hygiene  is  
important.    

Engagement   The  teacher  will  perform  formative  assessments  by  observing  

Assessment   students  during  group  discussion  before  and  after  Engagement  video  

Exploration   1.   The  teacher  will  tell  students  that  one  of  the  easiest,  most  common  way  to  
stop  the  spread  of  germs  is  hand  washing.    
2.   The  teacher  will  ask  students  if  washing  hands  with  only  water  will  wash  
away  the  germs.    
3.   The  teacher  will  explain  the  activity:  
a.   Students  will  stick  their  hands  in  glitter.  They  will  pretend  that  the  
glitter  is  germs.  They  will  practice  washing  hands  with  just  water,  and  
then  with  soap  and  water.    
4.   After  students  complete  the  activity,  the  teacher  will  repeat  the  question,  “Will  
washing  your  hands  with  only  water  wash  away  the  germs?”  [no]  
5.   The  teacher  will  ask  the  students  to  describe  the  difference  in  washing  with  
soap  and  without  soap.    
6.   The  teacher  will  explain  that  like  the  glitter,  germs  will  not  wash  off  easily  
using  just  water.  It  takes  water  and  soap,  and  thorough  scrubbing,  to  
successfully  remove  the  germs  on  our  hands.  

Exploration   The  teacher  will  perform  formative  assessments  by    

Assessment   observing  students  during  activity  and  group  discussion.

E   Description  

Explanation   1.   The  teacher  will  explain  that  germs  are  tiny  living  organisms  that  can  get  into  
our  bodies  and  make  us  sick  when  we  don’t  exercise  proper  hygiene.    
2.   The  teacher  will  use  the  Google  Slides  presentation  to  teach  vocabulary  and  
proper  health  practices.

b.   Where  do  germs  come  from?  
c.   Is  there  anything  we  can  do  to  stay  safe  from  germs  and  sicknesses?  
d.   What  are  ways  that  we  practice  good  personal  hygiene  at  school?

Assessment   during  group  discussion  about  the  higher  order  thinking  questions.    

Elaboration   1.   The  teacher  will  explain  that  students  will  be  creating  a  poster  to  display  
around  the  school,  describing  an  important  way  to  prevent  the  spread  of  
germs.    
2.   The  teacher  will  give  each  student  a  topic  for  their  poster  (wash  hands,  eat

5.   The  teacher  will  model  and  explain  how  to  insert  words  and  images,  and  the  
different  editing  tools.    
6.   While  modeling,  the  teacher  will  create  a  poster  like  the  one  below  so

7.   The  teacher  will  give  students  time  to  complete  their  Google  Slide,  while  
walking  around  to  assist  as  needed.    

Elaboration   The  teacher  will  perform  formative  assessments  as  students  create  their  Google  
Assessment   Slide,  by  observing  and  asking  questions.  After  completing  posters,  the  teacher  
will  assess  each  student  on  their  participation  and  understanding  using  a  rubric  
(found  in  the  Evaluation  phase).  

Evaluation    

Preventing  the  Spread  of  Germs  Poster  

Assignment  Directions  and  Grading  Criteria  
You  will  create  a  Google  Slides  poster  describing  one  way  to  
prevent  the  spread  of  germs.  One  image  or  photo  must  be  
included  somewhere  on  the  poster.    
Content  of  Poster:  
-­   Way  of  preventing  germs   40  points
