I found a really cute Science podcast to go with the first grade AMSTI plants unit. This teacher first introduces the unit and shows the class some different plants and then she has a student show the students how to plant their first plant which in this unit is a fast growing Brassica plant. I hope you enjoy!

I also found this really cute example podcast of making a "Hairy Caterpillar." The students use knee highs filled with grass seeds and soil to make a caterpillar. They add antenna, and eyes, and give the caterpillar sunlight and water everyday until the caterpillar turns "hairy." This was a very cute way to plant grass seeds and the student seemed to really be enjoying this experiment.

I hope you really enjoy these podcasts and hope they give you some ideas that you can use in your classroom.
