Isaac Newton

Discover the inspiring story of Isaac Newton, the legendary scientist who changed the way we understand the Universe.
Born in a small English village, little Issac was a tiny, frail baby. Because of his ill health, most thought he wouldn’t survive, but against all odds, his health improved and he grew into a curious little boy. Shy and withdrawn, Isaac didn’t enjoy playing with his classmates. Instead, he spent his time building model windmills and other small designs to test how they worked. 
It wasn’t long before Isaac was the top of his class at school and soon was walking the halls of Cambridge University. Once there, he surrounded himself with books, eager to learn more with every passing day. When the plague struck, Isaac found himself back home but he never stopped asking questions and doing all he could to keep learning.
Over the following years, Isaac’s brilliant mind led him to some of the most ground-breaking scientific discoveries of all time. From working out the laws of gravity to studying the principles of light and the laws of motion, Isaac’s work changed the world of science forever.
