The 12th season of Newton's Apple airs on most PBS stations and began in
October 1994. (Check your local PBS listings for exact airdates
and times.) If you don't find Newton's Apple listed in your local TV guide or
PBS viewers guide, contact your local PBS
station to find out when the 12th season will be airing in your area.
Look what we have for you
The "at a-glance" curriculum grid gives you a quick
overview of the science concepts in each lesson.
The 26 lessons cover the major topics explored in the 12th season. Each
lesson includes Insights about the topic, Connections to encourage classroom
discussion, Resources, and Vocabulary. Lessons also include a Main Activity
and several Try This activities related to each topic.
The following our Newton's Apple 12th Season Lesson Plans:
There are four other special sections: a feature on the
interesting animals in the 12th season; hands-on
"Science Try It" experiments; a "Street Smart" quiz
; and an at-home viewers guide that you can duplicate
and send home with your students to help encourage family participation in
science education.
Tapes of Newton's Apple are available from GPN for
only $24.95.
