Episode 19: Science with Tom - a podcast by William Jeffery

*In this episode, we speak with Tom  Mc Fadden about using hip-hop as a way to teach science. We also discuss how COVID-19 and social distancing may hinder teacher creativity in the classroom, and strategize on how to get that excitement back into teaching.*

He also teaches the world science with his* *YouTube Channel Science Rap Academy* ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3gFS6DINL-JBj5kd6hm9Ng ) *. Tom’s videos are engaging, to say the least, and he encourages his students to create amazing video science content as well. Tom has been a guest on various morning talk shows, done duets with* *Lil Jon* ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lil_Jon ) *, and even had* *Bill Nye the Science Guy* ( https://billnye.com/ ) *in one of his rap videos,* *Everybody Has Questions.* ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5mmE05e82I ) *He is also building one of the most creative apps I have ever seen to enhance science instruction using hip-hop.*
