Flip cards are an inexpensive manipulable tool for dimensional analysis (also known as factor-label method) that can help stuck, lost, or perfection-paralyzed novice and advanced learners calculate a variety of science and math problems. In addition to aiding in the visualization of unit cancellation, flip cards normalize guess and check methodology in single and multistep conversions with or without corresponding equations. Along with a demonstration, this session will include a discussion, reflection, and assessment of flip card use in a variety of chemistry courses at a small private liberal arts college.
