Unit 5 Vocabulary
In the first unit this year we asked ourselves the question "what is science?" Hopefully through the course of the year your idea of science has expanded.
Sir Isaac Newton expanded our view of the world tremendously during his lifetime. He was able to do this by taking ideas of earlier scientists (people like Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo) and make connections with his own observations of the universe.

Newton, most likely did not set out to be the most influential scientist of his time. Yet, his unique ideas have become common laws that we still apply today in everything from space travel to outsmarting the other team by making the best football play possible.
As you explore energy and forces in our last unit, we will not only look for ways to understand these ideas, but also how to use our ideas to impact the world.
Keep an open mind, you never know how your unique experiences and ideas, like Isaac Newton, will impact the world in both small and very big ways.
