Isaac Newton Coloring Page

Newton told people later in life that watching an apple fall made him think about gravity. In 1687 he published the Principia, a book that explained how gravity and motion work, and it changed science. He also built an early reflecting telescope, which used a mirror instead of a lens.

He spent his later years working at the Royal Mint in London, where he helped fight coin forgers. The line above comes from a letter he wrote in 1675 to another scientist, Robert Hooke.
