Script for Podcast

Song on parts of a plant

Grade: 3

Subject: Science

Topic: Parts of a plant

Description: Song introducing a lesson on parts of a plant. (Sing to the tune of the “muffin man”)

Parts of  plants

Oh, do you know the parts of plants,

The parts of plants, the parts of a plant?

Oh, do you know the parts of the plant,

That make them grow and grow?

The roots, they hold the plant in place

The plant in place, the plant in place

The roots, they hold the plant in place

And soak up water, too.

The stem moves water up to the plant,

Up the plant, up the plant,

The stem moves water up the plant,

Brings water to the leaves.

The leaves, they soak up the sunlight,

The sunlight, the sunlight,

The leaves, they soak up the sunlight,

And help the plant make food.

The flower turns into a fruit,

Into a fruit, into a fruit,

The flower turns into a fruit

To hold the tiny seeds,

Oh, now you know the parts of  plants,

The parts of plants, the parts of plants,

Oh, now you know the parts of  plants

That make them grow and grow!

Here's a link to the Video. Have a listen.

Challenges:

• I encountered difficulty in downloading windows movie maker so I have to resort to Video Pad by NCH. using video pad was also challenging but with the help of my lecturer and course mate the task was completed. downloading audacity and creating the podcast was not really challenging.

What was learnt:

• Audacity can be used to record and make audio files, cut downloaded music to your device to how you want it. video pad movie maker is a great app used to create a video, by adding images, music and things you record using cameras and even video downloader fro YouTube, or the internet. we also learnt how to cite reference all videos, images etc. hat is taken from another source and not originally yours.

Conclusion:

• Using each application to enhance my lesson, when I return to the classroom making them more interesting even in my everyday life.
• this week I learnt a lot, and will definitely be using these application to their full potential.
