The students have a combination of interests and double majors with math that connect heavily with Newton's wide range of interests, which gives them insight on the person behind the legend. As they make connections between Newton's story and their own lives, their youthful enthusiasm gives the story an appeal different from documentaries where established experts expound on a topic.</p> <p><a href="/newton_synopsis.php">Full Synopsis</a></p> <p>Educators are invited to submit their lessons plans for posting on this page, along with a photo of your school or class.
