Essential question 1 . My Virtual Conscience Isaac Newton.
E N D
My Virtual ConscienceIsaac Newton Sir Isaac Newton's greatest contribution to science was the discovery of the nature of gravity, laws of motion and the reflecting microscope. His most recognized work was the force of gravity. He discovered this when observing the falling of an apple from its tree.
5 Distinguishing Characteristics of Isaac Newton • 1. Shy- Sir Isaac Newton is a very shy, quiet boy growing on a farm in England 300 years ago. He was not a very good student and he doesn’t get much attention from anyone during the time.
5 Distinguishing Characteristics of Isaac Newton • 2. Smart- Sir Isaac Newton has a very big scientific curiosity. He discovered 3 very important laws of motion. Every reaction causes an equal and opposite reaction(third law) , and also an object at rest tends to stay at rest, while an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force (inertia) (first law), The acceleration of a body is directly proportional to, and in the same direction as, the net force acting on the body, and inversely proportional to its mass. Thus, F = ma, where F is the net force acting on the object, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration of the object (second law).
5 Distinguishing Characteristics of Isaac Newton • 3. Very curious- one day Isaac Newton was sitting under an apple tree. And an apple fell on his head. While other people will just think an apple just fell on their head, Isaac Newton asked why, why did the apple fell on my head, why did it fell in the first place, what makes it fall on the ground. This is where his theory about gravity first came on his mind, he studied what makes things fall on the ground and came with something called “the law of gravity”
5 distinguishingcharacteristics of Isaac Newton • 4.Brave- When Isaac Newton was in school, a bully punched him in the stomach. Isaac Newton fell on the ground and stood back and fought the bully and won. As he knows that he can fight better than the bully, he studied and studied. And then he knew that he is stronger and smarter than the bully.
