Hide/Reveal - Flip around Axis

Another simple way to create a hide/reveal page in notebook software is by using the object animation "flip around axis." This type of hide/reveal is great when you use your board as a center and need students to independently reveal the correct answer to a problem.

For instance, if you want a word/object to be clicked and the correct answer to appear, you can use "flip around axis."

i.e. antonyms

1. Find two objects/words that are opposites and place on page side by side a few inches apart.
2. Right click on one of the objects and choose "flip." Flip it left/right.
3. Group the two objects together - right click and choose grouping - group
4. Click and drag object to the side of the page so the flipped object is off of the page.
5. Click on the object and choose the properties tab & object animation
6. Choose "flip around axis" - middle vertical - when object is clicked
7. Try it out - when object is clicked - correct answer or hidden object is revealed
