Teaching during COVID was challenging; however, a few positive results surprisingly emerged. For one, Josh Kenney filmed a small library of chemistry lab videos for use in virtual chemistry labs after his school switched to remote learning.

The tutorials could be easily adapted for flipped instruction in high school and college lecture courses.
