Isaac Newton

We decided to learn about Isaac Newton last week, because he was a famous scientist who lived and worked in Trinity College, Cambridge. When we visited Trinity College we saw an apple tree in the garden outside his window, which was grown from part of the famous tree that legends say he was sitting under when he worked out the laws of gravity.

We learnt that he was quite a jealous person with lots of secrets. Some of them we can never unlock. We also learnt about some of the amazing things that he worked out, to do with gravity, the planets, light and colours, and a sun-clock that he made when he was a kid.

We made a game about what we learnt about him. I hope you enjoy looking at the photos.
