it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more so that we may fear less.” (Lewis, Jone Johnson). Marie Curie was always one step ahead of herself. She would always say, “Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.” (Lewis, Jone Johnson). She wanted to find something no one else had found and make things no one would ever think about making. Marie Curie was the founder of Radium. Radium is the chemical element of atomic number 88. It is a rare radioactive metal of

Marie Curie was the woman who found radium . She is an inspiration for me because she was polish and during her time poles were not allowed to learn, but she was one of the most famous scientists. She is not only an inspiration for me, but the other girls in the field of science.she has accomplished many things over her lifetime. Even thought she had a rough childhood, she became something amazing.The scientist to be was born on November 7 1867 on the outskirts of Warsaw Poland as Manya Skłodowska

Marie Curie was born November 7, 1867 in Warsaw Poland. which, being controlled by Russia was very suppressed. Marie’s mother worked as a teacher as did her father, and they made sure that their daughter had a great education. As Marie grew up she began to see how the Russians suppressed the Polish people :for example her father lost his job. Whenever Marie was old enough to go to college, She worked out a deal with her sister, while one was at college in Paris the other would get a job to help

During the early years of the Western countries, women did not have the same rights and privileges as men. For example, women could not to vote and they should surrender the control of their property to their husband because of marriage. In ancient China, women could not have any education. As the time passed, the world was changed, the rights of women are rising. The word “gender” in the dictionary is means “the physical and/or social condition of being male or female.” (Cambridge Dictionary). According

Marie Curie Biography On November 7, 1867, Maria Sklodowska was born in Warsaw, Poland during a time of confusion and chaos in Europe. At the time, Warsaw was controlled by a czar, who wanted to eliminate all Polish nationalism by keeping the people away from their cultural traditions. In response to this hypocrisy, Polish rebels ignored their Russian leader and continued with their traditions, which, in the long run, caused major chaos to take form in Poland. Maria’s parents, who were professors

Marie Curie once said “nothing in life is to be feared: it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more so that we may fear less.” Her words are very relevant to the contributions she did to today’s society. Marie was very persistent and dedicated when it came to her work that she even risked her health to pursue her studies. She was one of the first scientists to work with radioactivity and she, along with her husband, discovered two elements of the periodic table, polonium and

Along with her husband, Pierre Curie, Marie Curie discovered radium and polonium, and coined the term of radioactivity. She was an amazing pioneer for women in science, being the first female professor at the University of Paris and the first woman to be buried at the Parthenon for her own achievements. In addition, she received 2 Nobel Prizes, one in Chemistry and one in Physics, and is one of only two people to ever win 2 awards in separate sciences, along with being the first woman to win one

atomic number 88, a rare radioactive metal of the alkaline earth series. It was formerly used as a source of radiation for radiotherapy” (dictionary, 2005). In 1898, this radioactive material was discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie. Radium comes from the radioactive mineral, uranium. Marie and Pierre Curie studied the material uranium and determined that radium is still radioactive when pulled off of uranium. In the movie, Radium Girls, took place in the 1900’s, during War World II. People would apply

Shreya Vallimanalan 7-7 12/5/2015 Marie Curie and the Exploration of Radium During the early nineteenth century, French physicist Henri Becquerel observed radioactivity by recording how uranium emits radiation that is strong enough to blacken covered photographic plates. Scientists used to believe that uranium emitted “rays”, after they headed about Becquerel’s work. Later on, after Curie’s research, they came to know that those “rays” were actually very small particles. Wilhelm Roentgen discovered

things and inspired future scientist. Her and her mom’s work was very useful in World War I. Her work with radiation also became very important to new discoveries of atoms. Irene was born in Paris France on September 12, 1897. Her parents were Pierre and Marie Curie. Irene’s parents were very dedicated physicists towards radiation. Eugene Curie Irene’s grandpa was the main influence was to why she went into the nuclear field of science. Her grandpa taught her botany and natural history when they spent
