Digital Science and Math through Pod Casting

Sometimes elementary students are intimidated by science and math because of presentation. With this lesson plan, teachers and students can utilize a schoolers' need to be the center of attention to teach science and math.

Teachers and students Pre K-5 will utilize the technology available to turn learning math and science into teaching and reinforcment tool for peers and school.

Students will be put into teams of 3 to 4. Each of the team members will be responsible for the production of a teaching unit based on an elementary science concept. The teams will be given various simple experiments to choose from. They must make a short (3-5 minute) presentation, utilizing the experiment, to teach younger students a science concept of their choice.

Once they have completed their concept, they will present it to their classmates. Upon completion of the presentations, the students will make suggestions to the other teams about improvements. Once the presentations have been refined, each team will record their presentation digitally.

Each presentation will then be converted to a Pod Cast for access by elementary students and teachers. All of the presentations can be cataloged for use at later dates. The catalog can continuously be updated and added to each year. This will allow students to view concepts recorded in several different manners.
