Sir Isaac Newton
His Life, Values, and Times
by Rick Brown
Moore Hall Auditorium
April 7, 2014 at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
“In this presentation students of all ages will meet Sir Isaac Newton up close and personal. Instead of reading a bunch
of stuff about an old dead guy, the audience talks to and discusses Newton's life and accomplishments with the man
himself. They learn about his childhood, his thought processes and all the trials and tribulations he went through when
he was trying to convince the scientific community about his theories and ideas. He not only talks about his 3 Laws of
Motion; but, he shows real world examples of those laws that we use all the time in today's world. This interactive
demonstration allows students to not only learn about his laws but experience them first hand as they help Newton with
many of his experiments. This presentation brings the history of Science alive and really gets students excited about
Science.”
Quote by Sir Isaac Newton:
"I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself
now and then in finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."
