Cool Science Labs
Mike Szczepanik's students (HS Biology) have been exploring learning using a flipped classroom model. Below two students are working on taking pictures through a microscope using their iPad. The trick they found is to put the timer on 3 seconds to avoid some shakiness in the image. The photos are of guard cells surrounding stomata on the underside of a leaf.
Mike created mini videos that students watch in small groups, then they proceed with the inquiry process to create a solution to the task provided. Mike shares the videos via a Google Form. Students must watch the video then take either a video or a picture using their iPad to document their learning. The students share the link to their image or video that they upload to their Google account on the same Google Form then proceed with the next lesson link.

Mike has been exploring many ways to use technology and the inquiry approach to learning to help his students learn difficult biology concepts.
