Newton's Apple

Here is intro/theme for Newton's Apple. This was taken from Season 2, episode 1 (1984). Hosted by Ira Flatow (1983-1987). Note that the music was different. This was shown on PBS for 15 years from 1983-1998. People would write and send questions to see how science and the real world works. Sort of like the science show Beakman's World.

In the mid-1990's.

David Heil and Ben Delaney explain Virtual Reality on the PBS Series Newton's Apple - circa 1993

Newton's Apple was an educational PBS show that ran from 1983 to 1998.

This was the theme to the show for some period of time between 1990, when 3M took over the sponsorship from DuPont, and 1994, when the educational CD-ROM What's the Secret came out with this video on it.

This video predates the widespread use of MPEG, and was originally compressed using MS-CRAM (Microsoft Video 1), which explains why the quality is... questionable. :)

Host Ira Flatow helps viewers talk to experts about their various scientific questions.

Sir Isaac Newton is one of the most influential scientists of all time.Learning Junction presents the story of Newton describing Gravity and Newton's three law's of Motion.

Funny Story. True Story. A story told like never before. Best Idea Ever is a funny take on the actual anecdote of Sir Newton and the apple. Made as my final graduation film at Sheridan College's Computer Animation Program.

Softwares used in production are as follows.

Bob McCoy, curator of the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices, demonstrates some of the unusual quack medical devices from his collection on the PBS science program Newton's Apple.

My first film made at uni (and by far my favourite). I might put up the other two, but not the last one though since I want to try and have it shown at some festivals at some point.

Thanks go out to the university of Gloucestershire for having a freakishly large collection of cameras and edit suites (but no actual apple trees on campus, frugal much? xD), Matt who edited this crazy son a bitch into a great video and Giack who was a beast when it came to filming it. I directed and acted in it. Oh and thanks to Sponge bob as well, stay shiny you magnificent son of a bitch.

ps: apologies to Matt for spelling your name wrong in the credits xD

I know, I know...it isn't KIDS Incorporated, but I figured from time to time to share some other 80s goodness here. Here is a high quality opening theme song video from the hit show Zoobilee Zoo from the mid-1980s. There wasn't a good quality version here so I figured I'd upload one of mine. Enjoy!!!

Here are the closing credits for Reading Rainbow from 1985.

Open up the brilliant world of famous brainboxes to children with Nowyouknowabout Scientists, an entertaining and lively first encounter with the great science superboffins: Newton, Galileo, Darwin, Pasteur and Marie Curie. Let Newton tell you how he discovered gravity! Why is Pasteurs name on every milk bottle? What did Darwin see that made him think differently? Find out all this and more with this fun educational DVD comprising five colourful films for young minds (and old ones that need refreshing).

The closing to Wonderworks from 1986.

The British evaded the fact that the half-witted plagiarism of Kepler by the circles creating the Newton cult, did not permit the consideration of any relevant, experimental proof of principle; hence, the silly diversion of proposing that Isaac I do not make hypotheses Newton had discovered gravitation through being hit on the head by an apple. (Presumably, if we consider the relevant evidence at hand, that apple either hit Newton too violently, or, in the alternative, not hard enough.)

Promos, short films and interstitials from The Game, PBS afternoon/evening children's programming aired on KERA around or after 1997. (Not to be confused with the film The Game, which you should probably let the kids skip.) This batch is from before Arthur and the following show, The Magic School Bus.
* Glitchy mystery ad at beginning of recording. (Possibly local ad for The Game block - I can make out some Bill Nye and maybe Wishbone.)
* Wishbone promo (You will have that one part of the theme song in your head for the rest of the day.)
* A Bite of Newton's Apple - A fairly interesting 3-minute segment from 1996 about bubble gum - what's in it, why regular gum just isn't the same, and the best way to blow the biggest bubbles. Includes 3M sponsor tag and KTCA (now TPT) production card at the end.
* This Is PBS network ID (The grown-up one.)
* Primestar sponsor tag for PBS' Ready to Learn service
* The Game intro (Starring various playing pieces: Colleen Collect, Gulp, Kline Westwood, Ms. B, .Fraid Knot and Gumball. Kind of bizarrely awesome.)
* The Game bumper with local station ID
* Local sponsor tags for Arthur: JCPenney and Quaker Oats products at Tom Thumb
* Arthur sponsor tags, including short spots for Baby Gap (you really had to specify that the Gap owns Baby Gap?), Polaroid, and Libby's Juicy Juice.
* PBS kids' network ID (The brightly colored animated one, with the dog toting a balloon designating the previous show as Educational/Informational programming. I took out repeats of national sponsor messages before this and local ones after it.)
* A 30-second animation accompanying a poem about looking up at the moon and imagining someone else looking up at it and imagining you. Can anyone identify where the text is from?
* The Game station ID bumper
* Local Magic School Bus sponsor tag for The Science Place at Fair Park, now part of the Museum of Nature and Science.
* The Magic School Bus sponsor tags, including a spot for Microsoft Home (Whither Encarta?)

Here is an opening to Wonderworks from 1986. The intro is shorten but
has the funding credits.

Today's Cool School video is packed with learning! Mr. Histor takes kids back in time to find Isaac Newton, famed mathematician and physicist, just chilling out under an apple tree. Before gravity causes that fated apple falls, Newton and Mr. Histor count the apples in the tree. So, this video is a history lesson, plus a math lesson, and a science lesson all in one! So much learning, we could use some brain food...an apple, perhaps?

Comment! Tell us what history lesson you want to see next! Or math, or science, or...you get the idea! Leave your Cool School requests in the comments!

This episode of Mathnet is uploaded in honor of Square One TV's 25th anniversary.

In this 1987 episode of Mathnet, Officer George Frankly is accused of robbing the Next-to-the-Last National Bank of $250,000. However, George had been on a fishing trip the past week, and both he and his partner, Sergeant Kate Monday, know he is innocent. Before the trial, the Mathnetters figure that someone George arrested before may want to get back at him. The main suspects are two escaped convicts: The Brothers Karamazoff (however you pronounce it): Irving and Jake, who were in for a computer crime.

Someone wrote to ask if I had the opening from Wonderworks, which was a 1980s collaborative project between Disney and PBS to produce made-for-TV family movies. The good news is that, yes, I do have a copy. The bad news: it's a jittery, poor-quality copy with no audio.
