4th Grade Scientists Podcast
Ms. Norris’ class at Laburnum used GarageBand to create podcasts about the famous scientists who have contributed to our understanding of electricity. They took their own photos in Photobooth, then added pictures of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, and Michael Faraday (SOL 4.3f). You can download the picture files by clicking here. Next they created a voiceover describing the contributions of each inventor. Finally they added a music soundtrack to go along with it. You can see a finished podcast by clicking here. I posted the finished ones to a Writeboard so that parents could watch them from home and leave a comment. Click here to visit that site (the password = room30). You might also want to check out another idea for the same topic… making a comic. Finally, be sure to check out the Michael Faraday song that I created with GarageBand and Keynote since that was one inventor that seemed to cause the most blank stares.
