Newton's Castle Students can learn about Earth's rotation, optical illusions, logic puzzles, color, and more at this interactive Web site dedicated to the discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton. The site, which also offers thought-provoking questions for teachers or students to use to foster further discussion, was created by the students at John F. Kennedy High School, in the Bronx, in collaboration with kids at England's Thomas Hepburn School.
