Are you just getting started with Flip? Learn more from our Getting Started Guide.

Here are the basics: When you set up your account, you’ll first create a Topic for your learning community. Topics are discussion prompts that your students respond to with short videos. Students then Record a Response and post their video or view and Add a Comment to one another’s Responses.

Groups are a great way for educators to organize multiple Topics and share them with a community of learners. Invite your students to respond to an individual Topic or to access your Group of Topics by sharing the Join Code or Link.

Flip is available on the web and via our iOS and Android apps. 

Flip in PreK-2 Science 🧪🧬

One of the major goals of a science class is to help students communicate effectively while developing a mindset of inquiry and investigation. Flip is designed to give students a fun and creative avenue to develop voice and provide educators with a simple way to integrate it in their classroom. Moreover, Flip allows all students to share their thoughts regardless of reading or writing skill level! Here are just a few ways that Flip can ignite engagement and capture your students’ learning process:

⭐️ Plan and conduct investigations
⭐️ Analyze data
⭐️ Use observation to describe patterns in plants and animals
⭐️ Analyze weather conditions
⭐️ Observe and report patterns of the sun, moon, and stars
⭐️ Classify different kinds of materials based on their properties

Once you’re ready to create your first discussion Topic, you can dive right in from your Educator Admin or head to the Discovery Library for inspiration. Here is a sampling of PreK-2 Science Topics currently available in the Disco Library, all created by your peers and ready to be used with your learners!
