Sir Isaac Newtown
was born in 1642 and
died in 1727
He was born on
Christmas day
He is still considered
one of the greatest
scientists of all time



It is know that Sir Isaac Newton attended the
college Cambridge.
He graduated with a B.A. degree
There is a manuscript of his, dated May 28,
1665, which is the earliest documentary proof
of his invention of fluxions.

His Principia Mathematica (1687) includes
Newton's Law of Gravity, an incredibly
ground-breaking study. Newton's work
destroyed the old notion of an Earth-centered
universe.




Isaac Newton invented integral calculus.
Isaac Newton made a huge impact on
theoretical astronomy.
An 18th century poem written by Alexander
Pope about Sir Isaac Newton states it best:
“Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night:
God said, Let Newton be! and all was light.”

Newton’s laws are helpful now in classes such
as math and chemistry. Using these laws help
us figure out equations.

Galileo was born on February 15, 1564 and died
January 8, 1642. he was an Italian
scientist.
 Galileo was an astronomer and he made
improvements to the telescope.
 He is called “The Father of Modern
Observational Astronomy.”



Galileo discovered the phases of venus, which
are different variations of lighting seen on the
planets surface.
Galileo discovered the four largest moons of
Jupiter. They named them the Galilean Moons.



Galileo was one of the first scientists to
discover sun spots.
Galileo was the first person to report seeing
craters and mountains on the moon.
Galileo tried to measure the size of the
mountains and that is how he came to the
thought that the moon was "rough and uneven,
and just like the surface of the Earth itself,” .



Galileo tried to figure out how the tide worked.
Galileo thought the tides were caused by the
sloshing back and forth of water in the oceans
as a point on the Earth's surface speeding up
and slowing down because of the Earth's
rotation on its axis and revolution around the
Sun.
If his therory was correct there would be only
one high tide a day, and there is two.


We still the the telescope that he designed.
He was right about the moon and its
mountains.

Tycho Brahe, born
Tyge Ottesen Brahe
(14 December 1546 –
24 October 1601)
Brahe was of Danish
nationality
Tycho Brahe was well
known for his work in
astronomy



Brahe was awarded an estate on the island of
Hven, where he built the Uraniborg which was
an early research institute
In 1597 he became the official imperial
astronomer
Brahe’s discoveries were used by his assistant
Johannes Kepler to create the laws of planetary
motion

Tyco Brahe’s theories and findings are still
considered to be accurate today



William was born at
his home on April 1
1578, he died on June
3rd 1657
He went to school at
The King’s School in
Canterbury
William was of
English nationality
He was known for his work in the field of
medicine
and physiology
 His most important discovery in systematic
circulation
 in 1628 published his work Exercitatio
Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanginuis in
Animalibus

Williams parents were Thomas Harvey and
Joane Halke
Elizabeth C. Browne was his wife
