Let's FLIP!
Go to your class web page and click on the link for the assignment.
Log in and do the assignment.
Notice:
-Each assignment has a short video to watch.
-Some videos also have the transcript.
-Many videos have short quizzes.
-The quiz offers immediate feedback .
Please note that I am exploring different resources for content, and not all of them will be exactly the same to access and use. Be open to differences and pay attention to specific instructions for each assignment. Also, note any problems you encounter and note error messages and other info (browser, computer operating system, etc.) that can help us troubleshoot.
Use the following format to learn the material. Keep this as a guide.
------
On page 1 of the Flip Notes, write the following:
• Your name
• Your period number
• Your school email address
• Your user name
• Your password chemistry
Start a new page for each assignment. Use loose leaf notebook paper so you can hand in some assignments.
Number and complete the following steps to help focus your efforts.
Make a commitment to learning. Eliminate distractions. Think and question as you work. The assignments should not take any longer than typical homework if you focus on the activity.
1. Write your name and date in the heading.
2. Identify the lesson.
3. Thoughtfully watch the video and/or read the transcript or slides. Write notes. Write questions, too.
4. Summarize the lesson in your own words.
5. Take the quiz and summarize the questions and correct answers in your flip journal.
6. Write down any questions that remain so we can answer them in class. Come to class ready to ask questions, prove your knowledge, and use your new knowledge!
Learning to Learn in a Flipped Classroom
The Goal
• Use traditional "homework" time to acquire basic knowledge so that we can use time in class (with teacher's expertise) for more advanced activities, applications and extensions.
• There will be less "lecture time" in school and more problem-solving, active-learning time.
Why?
• You will develop skills to learn independently.
• You will gain expertise in using the vast resources of the web to learn.
• You will use your time at home to learn the basics, at your own pace. You can move quickly if you get it, or repeat and use more resources if you need it.
• You will use the material you learned in class in a more advanced way, when I am there to help.
• You will not spend frustrating hours at home trying to apply concepts that you don't get yet!
• You will spend less time in school listening to teachers lecture, and more time learning through action and interaction with peers and teachers.
• You will be better prepared for future online educational opportunities and testing formats.
The Teacher's Responsibility: A Guide at Your Side
• Provide appropriate resources.
• Monitor student use of materials.
• Provide feedback and individualized help.
• Provide class enrichment and reinforcement.
• Assess understanding.
• Sometimes the work will be noted on-line. Sometimes written work will be checked.
The Student's Responsibility: View & Do & Use the Assignment
• Establish internet access at home or school.
• Do the assignments responsibly. Read, watch, or do activity. Actively take notes and pose thoughtful questions.
• Use resources within assignment to try to answer your questions.
• Complete any written assignments or computer assignments.
• Come to class ready to apply the basic knowledge acquired independently.
• Be prepared to demonstrate your learning.

I will assign the tutorials/quizzes in class, and you will have several days to work at your own pace through them. You will use your Flip Notes to organize and document your on-line studies. We will practice the concepts in class. I will answer your questions and assign challenging projects to apply your new knowledge. You will also be quizzed on the material.

Compound Names and Formulas
If you go to this document online, all of the links are embedded in the titles.
In Compound Names and Formulas, you will examine the rules, methods and processes for organizing and categorizing all things Chemistry. Central to this course is making connections and relationships between compounds, which can be found in our introductory lesson,Summary of Compound Types. By graduating into more advanced lessons, you will learn that elements found in nature combine into compounds in order to become more stable, fulfilling the Octet Rule. Whether it involves hydrogen and oxygen bonding together to form a water molecule, or sodium and chlorine forming a salt crystal, the formation of a compound is a crucial concept in Chemistry. You will learn to identify the types of compounds that form in ourSummary of Compound Typeslesson, and distinguish between ionic compounds inIonic Compounds: Defining Binary Compounds. Learn how bonds are formed by sharing electrons in Covalent Compounds: Definition of Binary Compounds. With an eye on the detailed language of Chemistry, we give you the skills and insights toCovalent Compounds: Formulas from Binary Compound Names. Discover, examine and master the language and connections that comprise the backbone of Chemistry basics in Compound Names and Formulas.
This material will help you in our studies of Chemical Bonding.
