Along with many educators, I started flipping my lab a couple of years ago. I was therefore interested to read about another teacher’s experience. I had read Bergmann and Sams’ first book and felt it was a good starting point.

So how does this new text compare? Peter Banks reviews Flipped learning for science instruction considering its strengths and weaknesses and how it translates for a UK teacher.

With additional depth from considering pastoral effects of lab flipping, does Peter Banks view this as a useful resource to support teachers in lab flipping?
