Isaac Newton had a rough childhood. He was born December 25, 1642. His father died before he was even born, and at the young age of three, his mother left him in the care of his grandmother to go remarry. His mother had three more children with her new husband, so that made Isaac, one of four kids. He went to school at the ages of 12-17, and was then pulled out to help farm. After that, he was admitted to college with the help of his uncle, where he was awarded a scholarship. That scholarship granted him at least four more years in college. In college, Newton received his M.A. Newton came up with many hypotheses and theories in his lifetime. Although he didn't always succeed at everything he did, he never gave up, and because of that he succeeded

This was during a time when telescopes didn’t give a clear image. Newton came up with the idea of replacing the mirrors in a refracting telescope with lenses. This new telescope was much more powerful than the refracting, and one tenth different in size.
Newton also discovered the color spectrum. He used a glass prism, and light to create this experiment. He placed the glass prism in front of a beam of light coming through a tiny crack in his window, and that caused colors to reflect.
Newton was the first person to understand the rainbow, and without all his knowledge and hard work it would have taken longer for this information to be discovered.
Newton’s Three Laws of Motion are very important. His discovery helped, and also changed the way we think and handle things. Newton’s First Law of Motion states that, any object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an outside force. An example of Newton’s First Law is, putting a playing card on top of a cup with a coin, then pulling the card off the cup in a quick movement towards you, and watching the coin fall
