Across the nation, more and more professors have started utilizing flipped classroom lectures at the collegiate level. This experiment was designed to test the concept of a flipped lab. In this experiment, several procedural and conceptual pre-lab videos were tested for increased student success in a College Chemistry I laboratories. This experiment compares the test group to two different control groups. The test group received the pre-lab handouts that contained QR codes linked to the online laboratory videos and were required to watch the videos on EdPuzzle prior to the laboratory. One control received the same handouts as the test group but were not required to watch the videos prior to the laboratory. The second control received all of the information provided on the handouts but did not have access to the lab videos. Pre-lab quizzes were administered to all three groups and used to measure the effectiveness of the test group protocol. The quizzes evaluate student understanding of the pre-lab material presented in the handout.The research presented will show the impact of the required pre-lab videos compared to that of the control groups.  <br/>
