What is a “flipped” classroom and how does it work?
3
Traditional Science Class Activity90-minute class50-minute class Introduction5 minutes Lecture (~60%)40-50 minutes30 minutes Activity (lab, discussion) (~30%) 40-45 minutes10 minutes Wrap-up (if time)5 minutes Send home homework

“Flipped” Science Class Activity90-minute class50-minute class Introduction5 minutes Activity (lab, discussion) (~90%) 70-80 minutes30-40 minutes Wrap-up5 minutes Students watch lecture videos at home FREEDOM!
5
The Videos Set a limit 5 minutes for each video No more than 3 videos per night Keep it simple Use technology you already have Don’t create anything! No crazy editing Add your flair Be funny! Use jokes and stories you would normally tell in class
6
Accountability Have something for students to fill-in or complete as they watch the videos Fill-in-the-Blank notes Take their own notes Foldables Summaries Quizzes Online or In class
7
Why Flip? It’s not “easy!” Videos take time Make several at a time Students may resist at first Promise yourself you will try it for at least 3 lessons Less stress Students that are absent won’t miss material It’s nice knowing you are available “on-demand” Special Ed and the Administration love you
8
Why Flip? Develop relationships With students With parents Fewer behavior problems No more waking students up during lecture Students take an active role in learning
9
How to Flip Record your video (it HAS to be YOU!) Upload it to YouTube (or any site that you want) YouTube has great privacy options Available on most devices Give students the link Point them to your YouTube Channel Embed the video Give a (very) short recap the next day
10
What to do with all this extra time Integrate new projects and assignments Students can produce more polished products Graphs from lab data Final drafts (no more reading students’ stream-of- consciousness-style papers) Lab analysis (mean of class data, sources of error) Study Hall before tests Teach study skills
11
Roadblocks Some students will resist at first Students may forget a day or two Technical difficulties
12
My Experiences Test scores increased Students must INTERACT with the material Student accountability increased Interest in the subject increased
