Podcasts


I have spent a lot of time this week researching podcasts. There are a wide variety to choose from. Some are amazing, others mediocre, and then there are others that leave you shaking your head in wonder. Since I am moving from teaching math back to teaching science again next school year, my focus has been looking for science related podcasts. I love the National Geographic site and have signed up for an account. However, it's going to take me a bit more research to be able to navigate this site to find podcasts that work for me and my students.

I also discovered BytesizeScience. This site offers a fantastic series of podcasts engages students by demonstrating the relevance of science in real-life situations. From exploring the chemistry behind the Thanksgiving turkey to investigating the science of photography, this is science in everyday life brought alive for students of all ages.

As I am sitting and working tonight, my wonderful dog is as usual, right under my feet. She is definitely overdue for a grooming and is smelling quite ripe. So, this link is absolutely on point for what I am currently experiencing right now. :-) https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/why-do-wet-dogs-stink-+-other/id266670954?i=343678241&mt=2
