(:) 1995 Twin Cities Public Television 'NEWTON'S APPLE® 3 Welcothe to Newton's Apple Newton's Apple is the popular PBS family science program, broadcast on public television stations nationwide since 1983. Each program explores basic science through high-energy, hands-on demonstrations, featuring host David Hell, field reporter Peggy Knapp, and naturalist Nancy Gibson. Newton's Apple has answered thousands of science questions, ranging from "Why is the sky blue?" to "Why are flamingoes pink?" Comprehensive teachers guides have always accompanied the broadcasts of Newton's Apple, bringing the show's vivid demonstrations into classrooms at the elementary, middle and high school levels. The teacher's guides are designed to accompany the Newton's Apple television program segments, but are also a rich stand-alone resource in the classroom. With over 100 subjects covered, they offer many ways to help students discover the wonders of science. This volume collects the teachers guides from four seasons of Newton's Apple (seasons 9-12), which were originally broadcast in 1991 through 1994. Each of the four seasons in this volume has 26 lessons and a combination of ancillary materials (Street SmartsTM, Science Try Its TM, Family Guides, Animals, Transparencies, Season Indexes, Subject Indexes). The programs featured in these guides are still being broadcast on many PBS stations. Call your local PBS station to fmd out when Newton's Apple airs in your area and refer to the subject by the show number in the subject index in the back of this book. Educators are free to videotape the programs and use those tapes in their classrooms for three years from the broadcast date. If you miss taping a segment, you can also order tapes of selected Newton's Apple shows (see below). You can receive teachers guides for future Newton's Apple seasons for FREE by writing to: NSTA - Marketing Division 1840 Wilson Blvd. Arlington, VA 22201 For more information on how to order other Newton's Apple educational materials, including videotapes of selected programs, CD-ROM series "What's The Secret", Newton's Apple Multimedia Collection (interactive videodiscs), science kits, call or write: Toll Free: E-mail: Address: 1.800.LUV.NEWT [email protected] Newton's Apple 1.800.588.6398 172 E. 4th St. St. Paul, MN 55101 Special Note: Because these are reprints of previous teachers guides, we are not able to include special inserts included in the original packets (e.g. the posters, videotape labels and stickers).
