To answer this question, students were asked, “Please indicate whether the following topics were covered in your last high school courses. (Mark all that apply)”. One of the topics was “climate change”. Students option were binary, marking either yes or leaving blank for “Biology, Physics, Chemistry, or Other Course(s)”. The second part of research question two asks, how frequently was climate change a topic covered in courses taken by senior civil engineering students in college?

Although the authorswere able to utilize the resources described in Tip 3 for many of these activities, some of thetopics required development of completely new materials. The first year of implementing theflipped format quickly revealed which in-class activities fell short of these goals, and the authorstook those opportunities to improve the activities in subsequent offerings. In general, the mostsuccessful in-class activities were: 1) Appropriate and relevant for the topic and course. The main purpose should be to enhance student learning of the geology concept(s).
