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

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). So while the copy in the different sections of the materials refer to these added
materials, they are not part of this book.
