2nd Grade Weathering Podcast
Second graders at Trevvett are learning about weathering and erosion (SOL2.7) and today we made podcasts about it using GarageBand. I gave them a folder of 25 pictures showing all types of weathering and erosion. I also gave them a GarageBand template to get them started. They dragged the pictures they wanted into the artwork track, recorded their voices on the vocals track, and added sound effects of water and wind in the jingles track. They are still working on them, but you can see a student sample by clicking here. You can download all the files including the template, the sample, and the photos by clicking here. Also be sure to checkout our Virginia Trekkers podcast on weathering and erosion. We went to St. Mary’s Falls in the Blue Ridge Mountains and showed several of examples of weathering. There’s a video, map activity, and lots of links to other cool weathering resources like BrainPop. Watch the podcast by clicking here.
