         Dear whoever is reading this,

         I have finished reading Isaac Newton Discovering Laws That Govern the Universe. It is about Isaac Newton (Who else?). It talks about his life and all the improvements in science he made. Some facts about Sir Isaac Newton was that he worked hard, sometimes left food without eating it and falling asleep while working for hours on end. He had a cat that got fat because it ate Isaac's untouched food.
         In December 25, 1642, Isaac Newton ws born(on Christmas, too! Must have been a nice gift.). He would become the most important scientist in the 1600s. In his young age, he was fasinated by machines. During that time, people still belived in witches and magic. Isaac was a shy and was teased in school, but one day he out smarted a bully and gave him a bloody nose. Everyone now respected him.
        In June, 1661, now eighteen Newton enters a very good school, called Cambridge University. He does many expirements and find many discoveries there. He is happy until The Great Plague broke out. This was a devestating plague that killed millions of people in Eroupe. He moved back to his mom's house and lived there doing his expirements. When Cambridge was safe again he returned.
        In October, 1669, Issac Newton becomes a math professor in Cambridge Univeristy. At 26 years old, he is the youngest person to teach there. Three years later he is invited to the Royal Society, a group of senior scientists. He quickly and excitedly accepts.
         In March, 1696, Isaac Newton is invited to work at the Royal Mint, the place where they made coins/money. Three years later he becomes the master of the Royal Mint. Nine years after that he is knighted. That is why people call him "Sir" Isaac Newton.
         In March 20, 1727, Sir Isaac Newton dies at age 84. He is buried like king. He has the same ceremonies and is buried with them.
         Now I will say what he has invented or discovered. 1664, Newton expirements with light and finds that light is made of different colours. He is also the first to separted and put together light again. In 1670 to 1671, Isaac makes the reflectiong telescope. Hoped you learned  a lot.

  3. Dear Alexander,

    Its kinda funny how Isaac Newton had a fat tubby cat. I didn't know he was the one that found out that light had many different colors.

  4. Dear Alexander,
    This was an awesome blog. Its funny how you mention stuff about his cat. It's also really cool how he was born on Christmas. What was the plague? How did he out smart a bully? I like how you add a comment next to everything.
    Was the college the best one at his time? Where was he buried? He was the one that invented a telescope? What is a REFLECTING telescope? Isn't there, Isac Newtons law of motion in science that we learned last year?
    Hope you answer all my questions.
    Sincerely
    Samuel

  5. Dear Samual,

    In the book, it said the plague was called The Great Plague. Also it just said he out smarted the bully and gave him a bloody nose. I don't know if that was the best college at the time, the book did not say. He did not make tha telescope, but inproved it by make a telescope that reflects the image that the telescope is aimed at. There is the Laws of Motion there but on has about a paragraph about it. Hope that answers all your questions!
