The newest show in Karen’s Mashups features podcasts from museums. These are good resources to bring virtual field trips to life or to supplement a wide variety of curriculum units.

Let us know if you have an idea for a topic for one of our future mashup shows.

Science podcasts

Here are some podcasts relating to science that may be of interest for use with middle school and high school students:

Quirks and Quarks – a science-related radio show produced by CBC Radio One in Canada

NOVA podcasts – several different podcasts from NOVA, the highest rated science series on television

Science Friday – the popular NPR science show

The Science Show – a Radio National show from Australia

NPL Celebrating Science Lectures – video podcasts of lectures from NPL, the UK’s National Physical Laboratory (a little higher level than the others)

Here is a site that has a directory of many museums that are podcasting. These include science museums. What a great way to supplement your virtual (or real) field trips.

For advanced high school students, there are also a number of universities that podcast their lectures, such as Berkeley.

Of course, as with all podcasts and other web materials, make sure to screen individual episodes for studen appropriateness.
