Isaac Newton and Physics for Kids Kerrie Logan Hollihan
Isaac Newton was as strange as he was intelligent. Though isolated, snobbish, and jealous, he almost single-handedly changed the course of scientific advancement and ushered in the Enlightenment. In a few short years, he made astounding discoveries in physics, astronomy, optics, and mathematics-- yet never told a soul.
The world might have been a very different place had Netwon's theories and observations not been coaxed out of him by his colleagues. Newton invented the refracting telescope, explained the motion of planets and comets, discovered the multicolored nature of light, and created an entirely new field of mathematical understanding: calculus. Isaac Newton and Physics for Kids paints a rich portrait of this brilliant and complex man, including 21 hands-on projects that explore the scientific concepts Newton developed and the times in which he lived.
