  1. 1. Math and Science Samantha Queen Kylie Swain Kari Slone Joshua Allen
  2. 2. Math & Science Math is a science that deals with the logic of shape, quantity and arrangement. Math and Science are used everyday in cell phones, internet, satellites, online billing, medicine, recipes, and taxes. Without Science and Math, we wouldnt have advancements in communications and medicines. It brings ease to common households things like: microwaves, MRI scanners, radio, hearing aids, lasers, and medical treatments. Our world is ever-changing. We depend more and more on mathematics and science everyday. Math and Science are both important factors in technology, which is an important factor in todays world. Technology help us communicate with those all around the world with the use of satellites, the internet, and cell phones. They make it easier to work and even pay our bills online. With the help of science, we can improve our health. Math teaches us how to balance a household budget, to preparing your taxes, or pay your bills. Mathematics and science touch every part of our lives.
  3. 3. (5) Examples: Blogs/podcasts: They can use these tools by creatively recording their discoveries. Youtube is great for students to get a preview of the next lesson. Wikispaces can help students that miss class or dont understand the previous lesson. Facebook: Every class needs a Facebook page to keep in touch and help others with any problems. Zello: Keeps students in touch with late night problems with assignments, studying tips, or misunderstandings.
  4. 4. Podcasts Sometimes it seems easier to say what you mean instead of write it. According to philosopher Richard Garlikov, It is my contention that writing is different from, and generally more difficult than, talking because writing tends to occur under conditions which make it more difficult to know what to say and how to say it. Writing tends to be done under conditions that yield no natural or spontaneous introduction and that require more detail and clarity, generally because there is little feedback or opportunity to respond to any lack of understanding, misunderstandings, or disagreement. In writing something, one normally has to be sure all the necessary information, and perhaps significant implications, are contained in the text in a meaningful and lucid way, because that may be all the reader has to go by. Writing usually demands greater understanding of what is required for approaching or introducing a subject, for making it clear, and for being reasonably complete about it.
  5. 5. Podcasts-Science and Math In order to use podcasts effectively in the classroom, students will create their own podcasts to better articulate their findings in both math and science homework. Instead of doing a lab report or math homework on paper, they will talk it through on a podcast to enhance their understanding or findings of the material. This is especially helpful if the student is having a problem or encounters an issue as well as ensures that the students do the report because it will be clear by their speech on whether they know the information or not.
  6. 6. Lab Report Example Newtons First Law of Motion Wacky Washers To prepare for this experiment, stack 4 washers one on top of the other so that you form a tower of washers. Place the stack of washers on top of your textbook or on the floor so that you have a smooth, slick surface. Aim one washer at the bottom of the stack of four washers and give it a good hard flick with your finger or hand. What happens? Flick a stack of two washers into a stack of four washers. What happens? Flick a stack of four washers into a stack of four washers. What happens? Create a podcast and explain your observations, try to do this in in terms of Newtons 1st Law.
  7. 7. Results When writing, it is easier to leave out critical information that could result in deduction of points, but because talking is quicker and easier there can be more information involved. Because this is more informal than writing, it will put less pressure on the students. From the lab example, it shows that by talking through their experiments or homework, the teacher can better connect with the students and their thought process.
  8. 8. Conclusion In conclusion, it would be useful and affective to use podcasts in a Math and Science involved classroom. Taking the place of written lab reports or math homework, podcast can provide more insight into the students thoughts and feelings during the work process.
