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. The world might have been a very different place had Netwon's theories and observations not been coaxed out of him by his colleagues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eIsaac Newton and Physics for Kids \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003epaints 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. \u003c\/b\u003eReaders will build a simple waterwheel, create a 17th-century plague mask, track the phases of the moon, and test Newton's Three Laws of Motion using coins, a skateboard, and a model boat they construct themselves.
