Puppet Pals

Hey Everyone!
Let me tell you about a project that I have been doing.
In my latest History class, I have been working on a video about Isaac Newton and his contributions to science. My specific group within our class has been working on the overall topic of the Scientific Revolution. So I chose to do one on one of the most famous scientists of all time.
Here is the transcript:

Sir Isaac Newton PRS MP ( 25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727) was an English physicist and mathematician who is widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists of all time and as a key figure in the scientific revolution.Newton changed the way that humans today look at gravity and science. Before Isaac Newton, the world of science was run by religion. After him, the world of science was much more of a thought based world.

Isaac Newton was born in a period of time now called the scientific revolution. Before his age, the scientific world was based on theories revolving around a higher power, for example, a god. Back in that time, the church was the ruler and the pope was often times more powerful then the king. (pic of a pope)

Isaac newton seeked to change that. From a very young age, Isaac newton was enthralled with the ways of science. He, some historians say, would spend a great deal of time doing nothing but look into space and ponder the ways of the universe. He, it appears, felt that god must not be the only answer. There must be something to the starry sky other than the church. Through his laws of gravity he showed that the world is the way it is because of the fact something called science. Newton’s laws are:

I. Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.

II. The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector.

III. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Let me tell you the story of the apple tree. A young Isaac Newton is sitting beneath an apple tree contemplating the mysterious universe. Suddenly - boink! -an apple hits him on the head. "Aha!" he shouts, or perhaps, "Eureka!" In a flash he understands that the very same force that brought the apple crashing toward the ground also keeps the moon falling toward the Earth and the Earth falling toward the sun: gravity.

Although this story is debatable whether or not it is one hundred percent fact, it is a great image of what Isaac Newton was thinking about and questioning all the time. Things that today we all take for granted was highly questioned and also very revolutionary during the time of Isaac Newton.

After the breakthrough thinking of Isaac Newton, the world shifted from a “higher power” dominated style of thinking to a much more thought provoking and science based explanation of the universe and science.

The conclusion that the "Earth circles the Sun," was reached and published by Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Newton, and Halley. This is the "heliocentric theory."

Newton played an influential role in the Heliocentric vs. Geocentric conclusion and this is just one more breakthrough that Newton contributed to the scientific world.

So, why is it called Puppet Pals? Well, the video was (duh) filmed using the app puppet pals.
Here is the video,

Enjoy!!
