Isaac Newton(牛顿) was born at Woolsthorpe on 4 January 1643. His father died before he was born and in 1645 his mother remarried. After that, Isaac Newton lived with his grandmother. Newton's mother returned to Woolsthorpe in 1656 when her second husband died and Newton went to live with her again.
From the age of 12 to 14 Isaac Newton went to Grantham Grammar School. He was more interested in making mechanical devices (机械装置) than in studying. His teachers thought he was not a very smart student because he didn't do very well. In 1659 Isaac had to leave school to help his mother on the family farm. But he took no interest in running a farm and in 1660 he went to the grammar school again. In 1661 he got the chance to go to university in the end. When the university shut down(关闭) in 1666 when people caught an illness and died suddenly, he went home and continued to study on his own. He experimented about different things around him.
He discovered a force called gravity when he saw an apple fall in his garden. This force which caused the apple to fall also kept the moon in the sky around the earth. This same force also kept the planets in the sky around the sun. The apple incident led to his three basic laws of motion (运动) .
Isaac Newton died on 20 March 1727. He made great contributions (贡献) to physics, math and astronomy and is well known as one of the greatest scientists who ever lived.
