It is also highly informative about the island of Malta. Our website supports IE and other browers however it does not support Firefox. We have been to Firefox who have told us that they have come up with an upgrade which will enable users of firefox to view websites such as mine. I am looking forward to your award.

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. Though the site content is geared toward middle schoolers and high schoolers, it offers plenty of interesting facts and puzzles for older minds, too.
