Podcasts

Here is a link to the "Sid the Science Kid" podcast from PBS kids.  It can be found on iTunes. The episodes I listened to were "Summer Activities To Do With Your Preschooler" and "Science Centers." This would be an appropriate podcast to use to get ideas for my Early Childhood Special Education classroom. In the summer activities episode, they talk about ideas about integrating science activities during everyday summertime life. Some examples include learning about temperature after feeling cold coming out of a pool or doing some planting and gardening. In science center episode, they talk about the benefits of visiting science centers (or a museum). They give personal experiences of visiting these places with their own children and ideas for types of places to visit. Other topics that can be learned about on Sid's podcasts are libraries, play time, literature, or different holidays. This website could be useful for either parents our teachers working with preschool age children.
