Science Podcasts as Engagement Activity

At the beginning of class, I am taking attendance and checking off homework. During this time, I want the students engaged in learning. I like to use a variety of activities. They may have a short video clip, a warm-up worksheet or work in pairs with flashcards or sorting activities. Adding science podcasts to the mix will give me more options. Here are some that I would like to use:
