How do we know which years are leap years? Use the FLIPS (Future Leaders in Problem Solving) activity below to find out why and to learn more about leap years and the reasons we have them.

You will need the three clips, as well as the provided FLIPS worksheet

First, watch the "Problem" piece. Next, using the FLIPS worksheet, watch the "Method" piece and take notes. Think about the information contained in the media and how you can apply that to answer the question. Finally, check your solution by watching the "Solution" piece.
