At the end of the month I will be embarking on a new career as a biology teacher. In a bid to try and get my students engaged in science outside of the class room and to help them see the bigger picture of science, i.e. biology is not just the curriculum you learn in school, I have put together a list of websites, youtube channels and podcasts that will broaden their horizons. I realised that this list might be of interest to other people who are teachers or just interested in science in general and would appreciate a signpost to some good content.
This list is more biology focused but it does include general science, as well as more pop culture stuff like Radiolab and Stuff You Should Know. I'm going to try and impress upon my students the ease of podcasts, they're a great tool for enjoying learning and can be listened to while on route to school, going for a run or cleaning your room (all situations in which I listen to them). I know that not every student will read watch or listen to my suggestions but if I can hook a few in then I'll have done my job!
