1) CORRECTIONS

Isaac's Newton Video: 

Isaac Newton was born in England in 1643. He made lots of brilliant inventions, like a windmill to grind CORN. However, Isaac didn’t get brilliant MARKS at school. When he was 18, Isaac went to study at CAMBRIDGE University. He was very interested in PHYSICS, MATHEMATICS and ASTRONOMY. But in 1665 the Great Plague, which was a terrible DISEASE spread in England, and the university had to close down. Back in the farm, one day he saw an apple FALL from the tree. He formed the theory of GRAVITY: an invisible FORCE that pulls objects towards the Earth, and keeps the planets moving AROUND the Sun. He discovered that white light is, in fact, made up of all the colours of the rainbow. He also invented a TELESCOPE using mirrors. Isaac made another very important discovery: the three LAWS of MOTION. These laws explain how objects move. They are used to send ROCKETS into space.
