One night more than 300 years ago, a young man sat in the garden and watched the moon. He looked up at the starry sky and wondered why the moon went around the earth without falling. Suddenly, something hit him on the head, not a heavy blow, which woke him up from his meditation. He looked down and found a big and ripe apple falling from the tree. He picked up the apple and lost in thought again: why did the apple fall vertically to the ground instead of flying into the sky? There must be some kind of gravity on the earth that leads everything to the earth. The young man's eyes lit up: the apple is like this, so is the moon. The moon must be moving at a high speed under the attraction of the earth's gravity. Because of gravity, it can't stay away from the earth; Because of the speed, it won't fall like an apple ... The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the young man smiled happily with an apple in his hand. He is the British scientist Newton who discovered gravity. This year, he was only 24 years old.
Newton, 1642, was born in England on February 25th. His father was a yeoman and died two months before he was born. Since he was two years old, he has lived a poor and lonely life with his elderly grandmother.
Newton 12 years old entered the grand town primary school. He loved science very much since he was a child, and often made clever little machines. He made a small water clock by himself, which was modeled after an hourglass. With a small pool, the water in the pool flows out slowly, the water surface drops gradually, and the buoy on the water surface drops gradually, thus driving the pointer to rotate and indicating the time.
Flying kites is children's favorite game. Smart little Newton played a new trick: one night, he tied a paper lantern to a kite and put it in the sky. Many people who saw the kite in the air cried, "Comet!" "When people know that the lanterns on kites are shining in the sky, they suddenly realize.
Newton is a strong-willed child. At school, when he was insulted by his big classmates, he always fought back desperately. He often said: "No matter what you do, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will not fail." It is this tenacious spirit that led Newton to climb one scientific peak after another.
When Newton was engaged in scientific research, he often forgot the existence of himself and others and fell into a state of "obsession".
Once, he invited friends to his home. When he went out to get wine, he suddenly remembered the calculation of the moon's orbit, so he forgot to treat him and was busy calculating. Knowing Newton's temper, my friend had to eat the chicken on the plate and spit the bones on the table. Newton finally finished the calculation, and then remembered to treat. When I walked back to the dining table, I saw that the chicken was only bones. He suddenly realized, "I thought I haven't eaten yet, but I have already eaten."
Although Newton made great achievements in science, he was still modest. He once said, "If I see a little farther than Descartes (17th century famous French mathematician, physicist and philosopher), it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants."
The apple trees in Newton's hometown Ursop Garden in England have been carefully protected. 1820, this tree was divided into several sections after its death and preserved in the Royal Society and other places. This apple tree attached to science not only bears the imprint of Newton's rigorous style of study, but also spreads Newton's virtue of modesty.

Today, I want to tell you a secret. My favorite book is The Story of a Scientist.
This book mainly tells the story of many scientists who have gone through hardships and finally succeeded.
This book not only gave me knowledge, but also educated me, such as Nobel's spirit of studying hard and Archimedes' efforts to help people solve unsolved problems until their death.
In this book, my favorite character is Newton, who was born in Italy. He is a master of classical physics in the history of modern science. He once discovered three laws of mechanics: the law of inertia, the law of falling body, the law of action and the law of reaction. It has made great contributions to people's research in the future.
In addition, he founded the law of universal gravitation.
Newton's research on the decomposition of light opened the door to modern optical science research. He found that sunlight can be divided into seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple. It is very helpful for people to study light in the future.
This spirit of forgetting to eat and sleep really makes me admire: once. The old lady who cooked for Newton went out on business and asked Newton to boil the eggs before she left. When the old lady came back, she asked Newton if the eggs were cooked. Newton said they were cooked at work. She was stunned when she opened the lid. It turned out that Newton was so busy calculating that he mistakenly put his pocket watch as an egg in the pot and cooked it!
This book is really beautiful. I suggest you read the stories of scientists when you are free.

Newton was born in a peasant family in England. When I was a child, I was silent and my academic performance was average. But he loved reading books and making handicrafts since he was a child. Once Newton took his little windmill to school to show it to his classmates. Two classmates satirized him, and Newton knocked them to the ground. As a result, Newton was severely punished by the teacher and was ordered to drop out of school. His mother also blamed him for failing to live up to expectations. This incident was a great blow to Newton. He studied hard and won a breath for himself. Soon, his grades began to soar, and teachers and classmates had to sit up and take notice of him.
Newton was forced to drop out of school and go home to do farm work because of poor family economic conditions. But he still hasn't given up reading and scientific experiments. One day, it rained cats and dogs. In order to do his experiment, Newton jumped against the wind and the wind in the storm and was soaked like a drowned rat. His mother dragged him home reluctantly. After listening to his repeated explanations, his mother decided to let him go back to school. Newton cherished this opportunity and studied harder. Soon, he was admitted to Cambridge University.
In college, he found that he was not good at math. So he made a detailed three-year plan and completed it seriously. Finally, mathematics became his best homework. Through hard work, he finally became the greatest scientist in history.
After reading Newton's story, I think we should learn from Newton's patience and perseverance. Although Newton was a knowledgeable scientist, he also encountered many difficulties, but he never flinched because of difficulties, and always stood up tenaciously when encountering setbacks. So we should learn from him the spirit of not being afraid of difficulties and going forward bravely!
I think of myself, although I have very good learning conditions, but I don't know how to cherish it. Learning lacks initiative and always needs the supervision of others; If you encounter any difficulties in your study, make a hullabaloo about and ask others for help, instead of actively thinking about ways. After reading Newton's story, I decided to form the habit of self-study, use more brains, practice hard and strive for greater progress.

Boyle's skeptical chemist
Boyle was born in an aristocratic family in Ireland on1October 25th. My father is an earl and his family is very rich. He is the youngest of the fourteen brothers. Boyle was not particularly smart when he was a child, and he stuttered a little. He doesn't like lively games very much, but he is studious and likes reading and thinking quietly. Received a good education since childhood, and studied in Europe from 1639 to 1644. During this period, he read many natural science books, including the famous book Dialogue between Two World Systems by astronomer and physicist Galileo. This book left a deep impression on him. His later masterpiece The Doubtful Chemist was based on this book.
Due to the war, his father died and his family came down. He returned to China to live in London with his sister in 1644. I started studying medicine and agriculture there. I was exposed to a lot of chemical knowledge and experiments, and soon became a well-trained chemical experimenter and creative theorist. During this period, he organized a scientific society with many scholars and held a weekly seminar, mainly discussing the latest development of natural science and the problems encountered in the laboratory. Boyle called this organization an "invisible university". This society is the predecessor of the famous "Royal Society", and its purpose is to promote the development of natural science. Boyle is an important member of the association. Boyle moved to Oxford on 1654 because the branch of the society was located in Oxford. In Oxford, he set up a well-equipped laboratory and hired some talented scholars as assistants to lead them in various scientific research. Many of his scientific research achievements were obtained here. The epoch-making masterpiece "Skeptical Chemist" is written here. In the genre of dialogue, this book writes four philosophers arguing together. They are skeptical chemists, bardic chemists, medical chemists and philosophers. Bard chemists represent Aristotle's view of "four elements", medical chemists represent the view of "three elements", and philosophers remain neutral in the debate. Here, skeptical chemists have no fear to challenge all kinds of authoritative traditional theories in history, refuting many old ideas with vivid and powerful arguments and putting forward new ones. This book is widely circulated in continental Europe.
Boyle attaches great importance to experimental research. He believes that only experiment and observation are the basis of scientific thinking. He always clarifies his views through rigorous and scientific experiments. In physics, he studied the color of light, the elasticity of vacuum and air, and summarized Boyle's gas law. In chemistry, his research on acid, alkali and indicator, and his discussion on the qualitative test method of salt are quite effective. He was the first chemist to use the juices of various natural plants as indicators. He invented litmus test solution and litmus test paper. He was also the first chemist to give a clear definition of acid and alkali, and divided substances into three categories: acid, alkali and salt. He created many qualitative methods to test salt, such as using copper salt solution to be blue, adding ammonia solution to become dark blue (copper ions and enough ammonia water form copper-ammonia complex ions) to test copper salt; The white precipitate produced by mixing hydrochloric acid and silver nitrate solution is used to test silver salt and hydrochloric acid. Boyle's invention is full of long-term vitality, so that we still often use these oldest methods today. Boyle has also done many experiments in determining the composition and purity of substances, and studying the similarities and differences of substances. A brief review of the history of mineral water experimental research published by 1685 describes a set of methods to identify substances and becomes a pioneer in qualitative analysis.
1668, due to the death of his brother-in-law, he moved to London to live with his sister, and set up a laboratory in his backyard to continue his experimental work. Boyle's work in his later years mainly focused on the study of phosphorus. 1670, Boyle suffered a stroke due to fatigue, and his physical condition was good and bad. When he can't do research in the laboratory, he devotes himself to sorting out the knowledge gained from practice and reasoning for many years. As long as he feels a little light, he goes to the laboratory to do his experiments or write papers for fun. 1680, he was elected president of the royal society, but he refused to accept this honor. Although he was born into a noble family, he devoted his life to scientific research and life. He never married and devoted his life to exploring natural science. 169 165438 On February 30th, the scientist who laid the foundation of chemical science in17th century died in London. Engels once gave him the highest evaluation: "Boyle identified chemistry as science."
