ISAAC THE ALCHEMIST

Losure, Mary: ISAAC THE ALCHEMIST. (2016). Kirkus Reviews.



Isaac Newton was born on Dec 25, 1642. He was born in Woolsthorpe, England. Isaac didn’t get the chance to see his father because he was died before he was even born. His mother remarried to another guy when Isaac was still young. He was raised by his uncle. He went to the grammar school and Trinity College in in 1661. He pursued his bachelor of arts in 1665. Isaac found three greatest discoveries in optics which is the study of light. He also developed great things such as his theory about the light which is the mixture of other colors of light that came from a prism which called a spectrum. Also he developed his mathematics which including a binomial theorem and calculating the curve’s slope and the area under. He became a professor in Mathematics at Trinity College in 1669. In 1672, he became a scientist to the Royal Society. He was elected to the parliament in 1691. Newton never married but he loved histories and biblical prophecy. On March 20, 1727, Newton passed away and he buried in Westminster Abbey.



I like this book because it has great and fact information such as the time line of Isaac’s life. The drawings help shows more the meaning of the context. The book contains a lot of vocabulary and their meaning where teachers can use it on their word wall. Teachers can make activities according to the places where Isaac learn things. The book shows a lots of Isaac’s science things where teachers can teach kids as well. The book has a great information about how Isaac became so smart and this book can encourage and motivate kids in school. Teachers can focus on theme like “Working hard in school”, or “Being a good citizenship” because this book talks about how Isaac became a smart person on earth.
