HERE IS A SMALL PRESENTATION ABOUT SOME OF OUR GREAT SCIENTISTS.... MUST WATCH

2. Newton was a polymath who made investigations
into a whole range of subjects including
mathematics, optics, physics, and astronomy. In
his Principia Mathematica, published in 1687, he
laid the foundations for classical mechanics,
explaining the law of gravity and the laws of
motion.
SIR ISSAC NEWTON (1642 – 1726)

3. Louis Pasteur (1822 – 1895)
Pasteur contributed greatly towards
the advancement of medical
sciences developing cures for
rabies, anthrax and other infectious
diseases. Also invented the process
of pasteurisation to make milk safer
to drink. He probably saved more
lives than any other person.

4. Galileo Galilei (1564 – 1642)
Galileo Galilei was Creating one of the
first modern telescopes, Galileo
revolutionised our understanding of the
world, successfully proving the Earth
revolves around the Sun and not the
other way around. His work Two New
Sciences laid the groundwork for the
science of Kinetics and strength of
materials.

5. Marie Curie was a Polish scientist who won a
Nobel prize in both Chemistry and Physics. She
made ground-breaking work in the field of
Radioactivity, enabling radioactive isotypes to be
isolated for the first time. During the First World
War, Curie developed the practical use of X-
Rays; she also discovered two new elements,
polonium and radium. Her pioneering scientific
work was made more remarkable because of
the discrimination which existed against women
in science at the time. She was the first female
professor at the University of Paris and broke
down many barriers for women in science.
Marie Curie (1867 – 1934)

6. Albert Einstein was Born in Germany 1879,
Albert Einstein is one of the most
celebrated scientists of the Twentieth
Century. His theories on relativity laid the
framework for a new branch of physics,
and Einstein’s E = mc2 on mass-energy
equivalence is one of the most famous
formulas in the world. In 1921, he was
awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his
contributions to theoretical physics and
the evolution of Quantum Theory.
ALBERT EINSTEIN (1879 - 1955)

7. Charles Darwin was an English Natural
scientist who laid down a framework
for the theory of evolution – showing
how Man evolved from lower life
forms. At the time, his research and
publication led to bitter controversy,
but his theory of evolution and natural
selection later became accepted
within the scientific community.
Charles Darwin (1809 – 1882)

8. Otto Hahn was a German Chemist, who
was awarded the Nobel Prize for
Chemistry in 1944 – for his work in
discovering Nuclear Fission. He was a
distinguished Chemist who worked in
the pioneering fields of radio
chemistry. After the Second World
War, he was a campaigner against the
use of nuclear weapons and became
an influential scientific figure in West
Germany.
Otto Hahn (1879-1968)

9. Nikola Tesla was one of the
greatest and most enigmatic
scientists who played a key role in
the development of
electromagnetism and other
scientific discoveries of his time.
Despite his breath-taking number
of patents and discoveries, his
achievements were often
underplayed during his lifetime.
Nikola Tesla (1856–1943)

10. James Clerk Maxwell was one of
the world’s most influential
physicists. In particular, he made
great strides in helping to
understand electromagnetism
and produced a unified model of
electromagnetism. His research
in kinetics and electricity laid the
foundations for modern Quantum
mechanics and special relativity.
James Clerk Maxwell (1839 – 1879)

11. Aristotle , A Greek philosopher,
natural scientist and polymath,
who made extensive studies into
the world around us. Aristotle’s
investigations and studies
developed the foundations for
Western intellectual studies. His
writings formed the basis for
much knowledge of the first
Millennium.
Aristotle (384BC – 322BC)
