This paper describes a student-centered approach to teaching and learning physics in a high school classroom. The teacher designs and uses a 5E learning cycle to teach series and parallel electric circuits. This article provides an example of the implementation of 5E model for a physics lesson to address three-dimensional learning-science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, and crosscutting concepts. In this lesson, students could make predictions, exchange ideas, and collect and analyze data to construct evidence-based explanations about electric circuits, Ohm's law. This type of lesson design is effective to enhance students' engagement in scientific practices and develop conceptual understanding.
