Flipped Classroom
There are large number of websites that provide resources for the flipped classroom.
- Flipping Physics. This website has been set up by a US Physics teacher, Jonathan Thomas-Palmer, to assist others with introducing the flipped classroom. Features include: i) How to flip your classroom, along with an extensive list of other resources on the flipped classroom, ii) How to learn: advice for students on how to use videos in a flipped format and iii) A very extensive and comprehensive list of his own videos, each with lecture notes. In June 2017, Jonathan conducted a webinar for the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT), which can be accessed on the website.
- A Level Physics Online. An online source of hundreds of video tutorials that are freely available. They are on the topics of Quantities & Units; Vectors & Scalars; Motion; Forces; Newton’s Laws; Work, Energy & Power; Electricity; Waves; Quantum Physics and Properties of Materials. There is also a list of tutorial on practical skills. The tutorials are for UK AS level and so relevant to our Years 11 and 12. There are also resources for UK A level, but access to these needs to be paid for.
- Isaac Physics is designed to be used by teachers for their classes. Teachers can set up groups, design assignments and track their students’ progress. The theory notes are brief, but the problems are comprehensive with an extensive support structure for students. The material is at a range of levels and is a product of the Department for Education of the University of Cambridge.
- Veritasium by Dr Derek Muller has a wealth of engaging videos.
- Playposit allows teachers to produce interactive videos with their own questions at key points with either i) their own videos, or ii) Youtube videos. The final video will pause at the key point and ask students to complete a task. The video does not proceed until the task is done. Data on the students’ tasks can also be obtained. It is free to join.
- Resources for Flipping Physics. A website set up by a John Eyre, a UK teacher . It cover a large range of GCSE and A level topics and so is relevant to VCE. Each topic, e.g. PE Effect, has a page of descriptive content along with links to applets and AV material.
