Radiolab Podcast: Brain Science

This digital download (.docx) contains 3 worksheets with discussion questions (both pre- and post- listening) and questions to answer while listening for 3 radiolab podcasts- Lost and Found, 9-Volt Nirvana, and Damn it, Basal Ganglia!. These three podcasts are high interest for a wide range of ages, and allow students to use their own devices to complete the assignments. These are great for both in-class and out-of-class use, as well as for small and whole class grouping. An answer key is provided, and some suggestions for classroom use and further activities are provided. Great for developing listening skills. Also makes a great stand alone lesson for a substitute teacher to deliver.
