60 second science podcast
Ok – don’t let the “podcast” part of that scare you off. The website 60-Second Science is just chocked full of science tidbits and the podcast is only one part of it. You can also find archives of past podcasts here. The postings are written for down to earth people to read and comprehend the extremely intelligent part of science. This is great for teachers who rarely have the time to distill the “science-ese” out of publications and interpret for their classrooms. Of all the curriculums, science is the most dynamic and often times the most difficult to stay current with.
The podcast part of the site is found in the middle of the screen, right at the top. You can subscribe to it using iTunes to keep updated when new podcasts are posted – or you can just click on “play” and just listen through your browser. This would be a wonderful way to start a class – to hook the kids right in with something that is current and relevent to them – and not just in science classes either.
