Abstract
The present study aims to implement the flipped classroom teaching model in the Greek curriculum for chemistry from 8th to 12th grade students. Specifically, this involves designing and creating suitable educational material according to the flipped classroom methodology for targeted chemistry course units, which include laboratory exercises as well. The flipped classroom is a blended learning model, where students prepare by watching video lectures or other educational material at home, while homework is conducted in the classroom with the assistance of the teacher and students discussing and resolving questions. The teacher supports students exactly where they encounter difficulties, thus shifting their role from traditional lecturing to guiding, supporting, and individualizing.
