Sir Isaac Newton Research Project

Isaac Newton Bio Poster Project

For this project, you will be researching the life and accomplishments of Isaac Newton. You will complete the activities in the Newton Resource Kits – these should be done in your best handwriting and reflect knowledge gained from multiple sources that are available to you.

There are text sets in the resource kits. The text sets are different levels and you will need to decide which one is “just right” for you. Pay close attention to illustrations, diagrams, images, etc. They are valuable comprehension tools. Use post-its to record your thinking while you work.

Below are links to websites reviewed by your teacher, that you might find helpful when trying to learn more about Isaac Newton and his laws.

Final Project:

Create an informational poster with images and text that will inform students at Heathcote and visitors to our community about Isaac Newton and his laws. Think about movie posters or billboards that you have seen when designing your poster. Make a draft on paper before you create your final product. You will want your poster to be very organized, neat and informative.

Be sure to include (on an index card) the sources that you used for this project.
