Sir Isaac Newton was born in 1643 in England to a poor family and worked on a farm after his father died. In 1687, Newton published his work on calculus and the three laws of motion, which shook the scientific world. Newton discovered that white light is a mixture of all colors and that sunlight is made of a rainbow of colors. He also improved telescope design by using a reflecting mirror instead of lenses. Newton died in 1727 at the age of 84 and is now recognized for his revolutionary contributions to physics and mathematics.

1. Sir Isaac Newton By: Brittany

2. About Sir Isaac Newton’s Life He was born at Wools Thorpe near Grantham, Lincolnshire in England. His family was very poor he worked on a farm His dad died three months before he was born

3. Newton's Scientific World In 1687 Newton shook the scientific world with the mathematical principals of Natural Philosophy

4. Newton's Impact on Math He created the three laws of motion as well as calculus He also used prisms to show that the Ancient Greeks theory was wrong about the sunlight

5. First Law of Motion Moving objects continue to move in a straight line. An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon n outside force

6. Second Law of Motion The amount of acceleration is determined by both size and mass of the object

7. Third Law of Motion For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction to the object

8. Newton’s Discoveries He discovered that sunlight is a mixture of light with all of the colors of a rainbow

9. Discoveries Led to Creations The study of light led to improvement in the construction of telescopes. In the new construction, he used a reflection mirror instead of a combination lens

10. About his Telescope The telescope was six inches wide, and through it one could see the satellites of Jupiter

11. He died on March 20, 1727 at the age of 84. Although his findings were not recognized until after his death, he is now well respected.
