Who is Sir Isaac Newton? • Sir Isaac Newton was born in 1643! That’s 368 years ago! • He was born in England. • He was a physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian. • He is considered by many to be the greatest and most influential scientist who ever lived.
What does Newton have to do with MOTION and MOVEMENT? • Newton's Laws of Motion
Reminders: • Force - causes an object to change speed, change direction, or change in shape. • Gravity – a force that the earth has that causes us to stay ON earth. • Air – the gas that is all around us, but we can’t see it.
The First Law of Motion:Inertia Forces cause everything to move all the time! Pushes and pulls cause things to move. Everything wants to stay still, but something will make it move. Once it is moving, it wants to stay moving. Gravity and air slow it down to stop. Gravity and air cause FRICTION. • The First Law of Motion
