Science Homework for this week

Science Homework Task

Your task is to produce a piece of work on Isaac Newton and his work on light.  You can create a poster, a leaflet or a spider diagram showing what you have understood.  Below is some information on Isaac Newton, however if you want to, you can also look up more information on the internet.

Isaac Newton and Light

Isaac Newton, universally considered to be one of the greatest and most influential scientists of all time, was an English mathematical and physicist, widely known for his outstanding contributions to physics, mathematics and optics. He also invented the calculus, and formulated the three laws of motion and the universal theory of gravitation. Newton proved that sunlight is the combination of several colors.

One of the most important experiments on light was made by Isaac Newton. He was the greatest of all English men of science. He discovered that sunshine (white light) is made up of many colours. Over 300 years ago, Sir Isaac Newton passed a beam of white light through a prism. A prism is a triangular piece of glass, which allows light to spread out into a band of six colours. These colours are red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. 

Newton then sent this light through a second prism where the light became white once again. What did Sir Isaac Newton do? He first took the white light apart and then he put it back together again.
