In 2021 meriSTEM offers teaching and learning materials for Year 11 and 12 Physics and Year 11 Chemistry and Biology, aligned to the Australian Curriculum.
meriSTEM hosts an online platform and provides lesson resources to enable teachers to flip their classes. The meriSTEM platform provides videos, questions and usage analytics for teachers on their own customised course site. For more detail curriculum alignment, view courses.
Resources to help you start flipping
- It’s recommended that you explicitly introduce the change in approach to students and parents, and not expect them to ‘just roll with it’. This tips for intro to flipping video infographic provides ideas on creating your introduction to students using the flipping approach.
- Send this explainer video for parents and perhaps use this example letter to parents and guardians to let them know your vision and expectations.
- This poster provides some ideas for how to monitor student activity now that the CCX function has been removed.
- This blog post from experienced maths teacher Matthew Moore gives some further tips on how to begin your flipped year right.
