What conclusion can you draw from the story of Isaac Newton's life?

He revolutionized many fields within math and science

How is the moon's orbit around the earth related to an apple falling from a tree?

Earth's gravity keeps the moon in orbit; pulls objects to it

Isaac Newton proved himself to be a polymath. What can you infer about what a polymath is?

Someone who is interested in many different fields of study

How did Newton's invention of the reflecting telescope affect the field of astronomy?

It showed clearer images, without distorted or lost colors

What type of object could you best measure using calculus?

An object with curves and irregular surfaces

What can you infer from the face that Newton was elected President of the Royal Society?

Fellow scientists saw the importance of his achievements

Delicious
Omen
Inspiration
Dangerous
3
What conclusion can you draw from the story of Isaac Newton's life?
He wasn't nearly as smart as Einstein
He revolutionized many fields within math and science
His most important contributions came with the Royal Mint
His contributions to were unrecognized until after he died
4
At the Royal Mint, Isaac Newton helped catch counterfeiters. What is a counterfeiter?
Someone who breaks the laws of physics
Someone who prints fake money
Someone who criticizes the king
Someone who publishes inaccurate scientific theories
5
How is the moon's orbit around the earth related to an apple falling from a tree?
Moon's gravity holds apples on trees; Earth's pulls it down
Earth, moon, and an apple are all round, so all have gravity
Moon's gravity affects liquids; Earth's affects solids
Earth's gravity keeps the moon in orbit; pulls objects to it
6
Isaac Newton proved himself to be a polymath. What can you infer about what a polymath is?
Someone who comes up with hundreds of scientific equations
Someone who is interested in many different fields of study
It's someone who develops proofs about polynomials
It's someone who memorizes the multiplication tables
7
How did Newton's invention of the reflecting telescope affect the field of astronomy?
Astronomers realized that the earth revolves around the sun
It showed clearer images, without distorted or lost colors
It allowed astronomers to discover Jupiter and Saturn
Astronomers realized that sunlight contains different colors
8
What type of object could you best measure using calculus?
A very close object, like anything under a microscope
An object with curves and irregular surfaces
A very large geometric object, like an Egyptian pyramid
An object so distant you need binoculars to see it
9
According the Newton, what kinds of objects are affected by gravity?
Only objects with a lot of mass, like human beings
All objects in the universe
Only objects inside the earth's atmosphere, like apples
Only objects that orbit the sun, like planets
10
What can you infer from the face that Newton was elected President of the Royal Society?
His personality made him popular among his fellow scientist
Scientists appreciated the work he'd done for the Royal Mint
He was a good friend of the King of England
Fellow scientists saw the importance of his achievements
