Students do what they can at home. PreRead, Read instructions. Watch a lecture. Do the pre-reqs - then come to the classroom for help, and ask questions of the professional teacher and work with classmates. In the classroom students do the "activity" depending on your topic or class. It has a name - The Flipped Classroom.
When I was in the science classroom students would come in with the "pre-lab" questions completed as homework. Then they could get started right away on the lab. If they did not have the pre-lab done they did not have time to do the lab (the fun part) during that class period.

Obviously some classes or lessons work much better than others but they say any classroom can be flipped. And yes there are variations of a flipped classroom. The age 0ld problem as always is getting kids to do their homework.
A few years ago I was involved in a conference called #FlippinUtah. Some of the links gathered at that time are still relevant and some are gone. But the Flipped classroom is still here and will be making a comeback during COVID-19.
