2. He made the saying, "What goes up, must come down."

3. Made the first reflecting telescope.

Why he is important

1. Without him, gravity wouldn't be discovered until another scientific genius finds out about gravity.

2. If he didn't make the telescope, we wouldn't know anything about space and what's out there that we already know of today.

3. Isaac Newton, a prominent mathematician and physicist, is famous for discovering several laws and theories of physics and motion.

Why I admire Him

1. He is the person I did a biography on in first grade and I got a very good grade.

2. Isaac Newton was a very intelligent man and when I was in 3rd grade I wanted to be just like him.
