About the Project

Porto, Portugal
We are Bárbara, Gonçalo and Pedro, three FORM5 students from Colégio Luso Internacional do Porto, making a school project in the class of LTRD, about persons who changed our World. We earn the Golden Ticket and our job is to investigate the genius Isaac Newton.

Isaac Newton and the gravity laws

One day, when Isaac Newton was sitting on the grass reading a book under a apple tree, a apple fell on his head. Then, he thought:


- How did this apple fell? Why it couldn't rise into the sky?


He thought, thought, thought... and thought again many times and discovered the laws of gravity. He understood gravity as a force that attracts objects. The mass of the Earth is so big that attracts everything near the planet, preventing those objects to escape into the space.
