    Sir Isaac Newton was chosen as the topic because he was a leader in astrophysics and science who enabled space exploration and travel. The student learned about Newton while watching an episode of the TV show "Cosmos" that discussed his work. Research was conducted using tools like NoodleTools to cite sources from the BBC, Encyclopedia Britannica, and a "Cosmos" episode. A website was selected as the presentation format to allow inclusion of videos, images, and interactive timelines, as with a previous project. The topic fits the NHD theme of leadership and legacy because Newton led advances in physics, gravity, and light that still impact fields like rocketry, satellites, and art today.
