The current study was conducted to estimate the usefulness of 5E model and Lecture Model for the teaching of Physics at secondary level. It was an experimental study and true experimental design was used to conduct the research. The students of secondary level who were studying Physics in District Kotli were the population of the study. Two high schools; Government Boys Model Pilot High School Kotli and Government Girls High School No.1 were selected as sample frame schools. 44 students were selected randomly from each school. Pre-test was given one week before the treatment and on the basis of pre-test 22 students were placed in control group and 22 were placed in experimental group. Hence 88 (44 boys and 44 girls) were the sample of the study. Lecture model was used to instruct control group where as the students of experimental group were instructed through 5E model. After the treatment of eight weeks post-test was given and results were analyzed by using SPSS. It was found both models were effective but 5E model was more effective for the teaching of Physics at secondary level. It was recommended that the 5E model may be used instead of lecture model at secondary and higher secondary level.
