We're used to seeing dogs and cats play with toys or get the zoomies… but do animals like rats and bumblebees play too? What is animal play for? How do scientists even decide what counts as play?Today, we're taking a serious look at goofy behavior. We'll discover the five-part checklist that many scientists use to recognize play in nature, and find out why taking turns is so important for healthy brain development. This episode is a collaboration between Outside/In and Tumble, the science podcast for kids. Featuring Junyi Chu and Jackson HamProduced by Lindsay Patterson, Marshall Escamilla, and Taylor Quimby.

There are over 150 episodes of Tumble to check out, including a few of our favorites: Do Trees Fart?The Swift QuakeWhy Are Sloths SlowAre Cats Evil? The five-part play checklist mentioned in the episode was developed by play researcher Gordon M. Burghardt. His paper, “Play in fishes, frogs and reptiles,” answers some other really interesting questions about animal play.
What do superheroes, sloth backpacks, and digital movie projectors all have in common? In this episode of the “Stories from the NNI” podcast, Marshall Escamilla, co-host of the Tumble Science Podcast for Kids; Matthew Jackson, a physics teacher at Cobb County School District in Marietta (near Atlanta), GA; and Matt Pleil, a research professor of mechanical engineering and a cleanroom manager at the University of New Mexico answer this question and describe how they inspire curiosity, creativity, and action in students with nanotechnology.

In this episode I chat with co-founder of the Tumble Science Podcast for Kids, Marshall Escamilla. You will love hearing Marshall share strategies for igniting wonder and curiosity for science and how you can bring podcasts into learning. After spending 17 years in classrooms, Marshall Escamilla started podcasting full time in 2020. Starting as a math teacher and migrating to a music teacher, Marshall has taught nearly every academic subject in between--except science! In 2015, he started co-hosting the Tumble Science Podcast for Kids with his brilliant and talented science journalist wife Lindsay Patterson, bringing both his passion for education and general air of goofiness to the show. They live in Massachusetts now with their two sons. Tumble Science Podcast for Kids
This week, we 'dive' into an 'ocean' full of fun with* Octonauts* and special guest, Marshall Escamilla. Marshall is an educator, musician, father, and podcaster. You can hear him co-host Tumble Science Podcast for Kids, a science podcast for the entire family. So who better to help us "swim" through all the science-based knowledge kids can 'fish' for in Octonauts!
Sara Robberson Lentz, STEM Education Officer at AUI and COO and Head of Partnerships at Tumble media, joined Jeff Thompson in the Blind Abilities Studio with some exciting news for STEM education, accessibility and representation in STEM fields for the BVI. The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded $1 Million to a team comprised of Associated Universities Incorporated (AUI), Oregon State University, Independent Science (ISci) and Tumble Media. The team will study podcasts as a classroom tool to engage blind and visually impaired students, focusing on representation and accessibility in STEM fields. This initiative is a major step towards promoting inclusion for all children learning science. Education and content experts from Tumble Media will lead the development of teaching resources based on the research findings, focus groups, and testing within selected classrooms. Sara gives us an overview of the teams and how this experience is impacting the way Tumble Media is producing their popular children's podcasts. How they describe the educational storytelling to be the most inclusive that they can be.

Do scientific research articles sometimes sound like another language? To K-12 students, very often it's yes. Tanya Dimitrova tried to help solve this problem by founding the Scientific Journal for Kids, where her team of writers, designers, and teachers translates articles from scientific research journals into more kid-friendly language. Tanya talks about how her time as a science teacher in Central Texas influenced her to found this nonprofit, and then explains all the details that go into collaborating with scientists to make their work more accessible.

Many edupreneurs find themselves creating classroom resources to sell to other time-strapped educators. Marshall and his wife, Lindsay, decided to start a podcast, not for their fellow teachers or teacher side hustlers, but in an area where they saw a real lack: inspiring science education content. Combining Lindsay's background in science journalism with Marshall's passion for teaching middle school and his musical talent, the couple started Tumble, a self-described “science podcast for kids, to be enjoyed by the entire family.” In this episode, Marshall explains the process for creating each episode, how they gained the attention of brands early (and how they've recently leveraged this into a brand partnership), what role Patreon plays in his business (and what he's learned that you can apply to your very own content creation account), and the invaluable role networking has played in the success of the podcast every step of the way.
