Young readers may have already heard about Newton's laws of motion, but there's much more to know about the man behind those laws. This engaging volume teaches readers about the life of Sir Isaac Newton and how the work he did hundreds of years ago still influences the things they learn at school today. Vibrant photographs and informative sidebars help readers understand the impact Newton had on science and the world as a whole. A quiz at the end of the book and a science project based on Newton's work help reinforce key elementary science curricula.
