Television
At a time when the airwaves are filled with commercials, venom, trivia and endless distraction; it is still possible to find islands of sanity, intelligence, wit, useful information and respectful debate. The programs below offer such fare. You should find much that you'll want to share and explore with your students.

- In an effort to survive its funding problems in recent years, PBS may have moved closer to commercial TV. However, it hasn't moved that much closer. In my opinion, its programming is still the finest you can find on the U.S. broadcast airwaves. To see what's available in addition to the weekly series noted above, look at its web site. Most PBS sites now contain teacher's guides and lesson suggestions. Some are designed to provide additional information for specific topics noted in the videos. Look for them.

Want to know about upcoming science programming? Look no further than this site. Here you'll find the dates and times for this month's televised fare, as well as links to the networks' more interesting online attractions. New schedules are posted the first of each month. Watching Science's parent site, Science Matters, has other interesting sections for you to explore. I especially like the one on cloning.
