As a project for Science Week, we are creating a news podcast: STEM RADIO!
We are aiming to produce quality news items which are about the latest exciting developments in our world. Based on STEM topics, we hope to inform our audience how science is used to solve problems and create solutions in our world. In particular, we want to tell our audience which science was involved – the basic scientific thinking and science disciplines behind the story.
Here’s an example podcast segment.
Process:
Work with a partner. Choose an article from the list. Create a draft of your podcast script. Include:
WHO
WHEN
WHERE
WHAT
THE SCIENCE INVOLVED
Are there any direct quotes in the article you have read? You may use these to create an authentic ‘voice’ in your script. You may include a fictitious quote or interview in your podcast if it helps to highlight the science!
TIPS FOR SUCCESS – VERY IMPORTANT!
Use the assistive tech on your laptop to read the computer.
Include the main idea in your introductory sentences.
Your original writing is best – just don’t copy sentences from the article.
Combine the power of emoji with graffiti to create speech bubbles on these images. Stick to the theme: migration.
Choose an image from this slide show:
TIP: Insert your chosen image into a Word document. Add a ‘callout’ shape. type your emojis inside the callout shape – no more than 5 emoji per shape. Here’s my example:
Design your journey for the reindeers. They must make the journey without the alarm sounding. The journey must be at least 10 metres – the longer or more difficult the better.
