3. • When Sir Isaac Newton was a
boy, he was more interested
in making mechanical devices
than in studying. He made a
windmill which could grind
wheat and corn, and he made
a water clock and a sundial.
His teachers thought of him as
a poor student. He wanted to
go to college, but he didn't
have the money to go.
4. • Isaac Newton built the first practical reflecting
telescope and developed a theory of colour
based on the observation that a prism
decomposes white light into the many colours
of the visible spectrum
