Practical experimentation is an essential component of teaching process. When the course contents have to be delivered to the students in a classroom, the theoretical background of the topic has to be made clear, which time and again is provided through series of Theory sessions or lectures. To support these theory sessions and enhance the comprehensive understanding of the topic, practical experiments are designed by the Expert teachers. Students get limited time span to perform the experiment and understand as well as analyze the results. The instructors explain and demonstrate the experimental setup during the same time span which leaves very less time for actual experimentation and repetition of the experiment. As a result of this, most of the students do not understand the concept and application of the experimentation. In this research work a methodology of Flipped classroom is proposed where the Educator will make a video clip of every experiment as per the syllabus for a class. In this video session, the theoretical background will be explained at the beginning and then the demonstration related to making connections, noting down the observations, debugging the errors and concluding the experiment will be covered. These videos will be shared with the students through internet well ahead of the experimentation schedule so that students can go through them until they understand as per their grasping level and spend more practice time in performing experiments in the Laboratory.
