Review
I've been intrigued by the idea of flipping my science class for a while, but wasn't really sure how to implement the idea. In the past couple years I've already moved to a class structure that is much more focused on inquiry and modeling than direct instruction, though I will admit to the occasional lecture. I wasn't sure what it would look like to flip this model of instructional design. This book had the answers I needed. There are chapters on flipping with inquiry learning, modeling, and project based learning that show a clear understanding of both why those approaches are good and how flipping would logically fit (such as support for students who don't grasp the material correctly during an inquiry lesson or who are absent during the modeling activity).When I got the book I was a bit apprehensive at first because it is short. But, it is full of helpful strategies, ideas for incorporating flipping into different types of instructional models, and personal examples to help you see where the authors' thoughts come from. If you are entirely unfamiliar with the idea of flipping a class and the benefits and challenges to that I would recommend picking up another book in additional to this one, but I see this book as required reading for any science teacher looking to flip their class.
