Science Podcasting at JPJ Middle School

I have had the opportunity to work with 9th graders in Mrs. Monson's science class at Joel P. Jensen Middle School. It has been so fun to work with her students. Mrs. Monson is an amazing science teacher. One of the projects we worked on with her 9th grade students was in GarageBand. She wrote a list with her students of the different labs they had done in class since the beginning of the year. She paired the students and they had to choose a lab that they enjoyed and write a script about their favorite lab experience. The students then created a script and recorded it in garageband. Their recordings actually outlined the Scientific Method. Here are a couple of 9th grade student audio podcasts that were created about their lab experiences.
