Coming soon to a podcast feed near you

Amplify is pleased to present Science Matters, a new podcast about science teaching and learning. In an ever-changing world full of new phenomena to explore, new discoveries to make, and new learning standards to meet, science education has never looked more different from its past. How are K–12 educators keeping up with these changes, and how are they preparing their students to be the next generation of 21st-century scientists?

Join us to hear how educators inside and outside of classrooms are braving this new world and inspiring kids across the country to love learning science—and to learn how you can bring that magic into your classroom.
