Happy Birthday, Sir Isaac Newton!

The video celebrates Sir Isaac Newton's birthday by exploring his life and contributions to science and mathematics. It discusses his interest in motion, his invention of calculus, and his famous discoveries, including the theory of gravity. The video narrates the popular story of an apple falling on Newton's head, which inspired his theory of gravity, and explains the concept of gravity in relation to celestial bodies like the moon and Earth. It also examines the truth behind the apple story, suggesting it may be partly myth. The video concludes with a light-hearted suggestion to bake an apple pie in Newton's honor.

What was one of Sir Isaac Newton's major contributions to mathematics?

• The creation of trigonometry

• The discovery of geometry

• The development of calculus

• The invention of algebra

What inspired Newton to develop his theory of gravity?

• A rolling stone

• A flying bird

• A shooting star

• A falling apple

How does gravity affect the moon's movement around the Earth?

• It pushes the moon away from Earth

• It stops the moon from moving

• It pulls the moon towards Earth

• It makes the moon spin faster

Why doesn't the moon crash into the Earth?

• Because it is not affected by gravity

• Because it is too light

• Because it is too far away

• Because it is moving sideways

What is the relationship between the Earth's gravity and the sun?

• The Earth and sun repel each other

• The sun's gravity keeps the Earth in orbit

• The sun is unaffected by Earth's gravity

• The Earth pulls the sun towards it
