The Periodic Table of Podcasts

Filed Under Podcasts, Science (6-12), Science (K-5), Interactive Activities | 1 Comment

Background:  In the second trimester at Cary Academy, Cary, NC, USA the 7th grade science students learned about atomic structure, basic chemical reactions, and the classification of different types of matter in their Chemistry Unit.  As a culminating project for this unit, students were challenged to created an innovative, creative podcast about an element on the periodic table.  This website is a result of those projects.

Purpose:  The purpose of Periodic Table of Podcasts was for students to learn about various elements on the periodic table by conducting research using the Internet and then creating educational and interesting podcast based upon that research using their tablet PC’s, Audacity, and other technology.

Invitation: We invite students from any school to participate in the development of the “Periodic Table of Podcasts”.  To participate, instructions are provided within this website.  There are very easy ways to create audio files in the classroom even if you have only a few computers. Contact the Instructional Technology Department for help!  Audio files could be hosted on your school’s server, various Internet resources, or other means.  Don’t let the technology get in the way- for help and advise contact your Instructional Technology Department.  All we need is the URL (link) to your students’ audio files, and we can add them to the Periodic Table of Podcasts!  If you wish to collaborate regarding your podcast project, e-mail joselyn_todd@caryacademy.org. Please complete the FORM on our website to enter your podcasts to the periodic table.
