Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis are important teaching content of Energy Metabolism in Biology, with abstract concepts and complex microscopic processes. Teaching process suffers from problems such as misconception, weak experiment inquiry, and monolithic evaluation methods. The 5E instructional model is based on constructivism and revolves around the five phases of engagement, exploration, explanation, elaboration and evaluation to conduct concept construction. This paper analyzes the practical contradictions in the traditional teaching of this unit, elaborates on the logical basis for the 5E model to adapt to unit teaching, studies the design approaches and practical challenges of unit teaching, and summarizes the directions and practical pathways of teaching innovation and reform, aiming to provide ideas for the overall teaching reform of Biology in higher education.
