Alexander Fleming accidentally discovered penicillin in 1928. While showing a friend some experiments, Fleming noticed mold growing on one of his culture plates except for an area around a contaminant. He studied this further and found that the mold, penicillium notatum, was preventing the growth of bacteria. This discovery of penicillin's antibacterial properties revolutionized medicine and saved countless lives.
Alexander fleming
Alexander Fleming was a British scientist who in 1928 discovered penicillin, the first antibiotic substance produced by a microorganism. While working with staphylococci bacteria, he noticed the antibacterial properties of the Penicillium mold that inhibited their growth. He published his findings in 1929 and his discovery of penicillin led to the development of other antibiotics and revolutionized medicine by allowing previously deadly diseases to be treated. In 1945, Fleming was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discovery of penicillin.

Pharma ppt
Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928 almost by accident. Upon returning from vacation, Fleming noticed a mold growing in one of his culture plates that contained staphylococci bacteria. He observed a clear zone around the mold where no bacteria was growing, indicating that the mold was secreting a substance that was killing the bacteria. The mold was later identified as penicillium mold. This was a seminal discovery as it showed that microbes could be used to kill other microbes. However, it took over a decade for penicillin to be mass produced and used widely to treat bacterial infections during World War II, saving many lives. While penicillin revolutionized medicine, drug resistance has since emerged as a major challenge.
Penicillin
Penicillin is a group of drugs produced naturally by mold that can stop the growth of certain infections and diseases. In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered that the blue-green mold Penicillium notatum released a substance that killed bacteria. Researchers later experimented with Fleming's discovery and by 1941 were able to produce enough penicillin to treat patients, which saved lives during World War 2. Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin later determined penicillin's chemical structure, allowing it to be produced synthetically.
Serendipity
The document discusses several discoveries and inventions that occurred serendipitously, including:
1. Penicillin was discovered when Alexander Fleming noticed a mold inhibiting bacterial growth in 1928.
2. Potato chips were invented when George Crum sliced potatoes very thin in response to a customer complaint in 1853.
3. Microwave ovens were discovered when Percy Spencer noticed a chocolate bar melting in his pocket near a radar tube in the 1940s.
Edward jenner presentation
Edward Jenner was born in 1749 in England and is known as the father of immunology. He discovered the cure for smallpox through observing that milkmaids who had previously contracted cowpox did not get smallpox. Jenner hypothesized that cowpox could be used to cure smallpox. Through experimenting by using cowpox as a vaccination for smallpox, he found his hypothesis to be true. His discovery of vaccination led to vaccines becoming common and saving millions of lives worldwide.
Edward Jenner
Edward Jenner was an English physician born in 1749 who discovered vaccination for smallpox. He observed that dairy workers who had previously contracted cowpox did not later get smallpox. In 1796, he took material from a cowpox blister and inoculated an 8-year old boy, later exposing him to smallpox with no illness resulting. Jenner published his findings in 1798. By 1800, over 100,000 people worldwide had been vaccinated. Jenner's discovery led to the eradication of smallpox and saved millions of lives. He received honors but died in 1823 before being elected to the College of Physicians.

Alexander Fleming is synonymous with Penicillin, an antibiotic which has contributed immensely in the fight against bacteria. What few appreciate is the fact that the road to making the drug not only practical but acceptable was not an easy one and it took many years and a lot of effort for it to be produced in large quantities. Flemings experience teaches us that change can only occur through consistent and systematic efforts rather than instant fixes. This paper examines Alexander Fleming’s life, his work on penicillin and how this work has contributed a positive change to the world.
Childhood and early career
Born in 1881 on the 6th of August in Scotland few would predict that the third born of a farmer by the name Hugh Fleming would grow to become one of the most renowned scientists in the medicine world. He attended the Loudoun Moor School where he earned a scholarship at Kilmarnock Academy and later moved to London to study at an institute named Royal Polytechnic. He was attached in a shipping Company for four years working as a shipping officer. However his uncle John Fleming was determined that Alexander should follow in his footsteps to be a physician and thus after inheriting some money from him, Alexander enrolled at a medical school in Paddington where he successfully completed his course in 1906 with a distinction in a MBBS degree. Later in 1908 he added to his increasing accolades, a BSc degree in Bacteriology and later went back to his previous medical institute to become a lecturer. In addition to his careers in the medical world, Fleming as evoked by Fleming (2007) is also known to have participated in the First World War where he took up the position of a captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps and thereafter he went back to the St Mary’s hospital where he had previously worked in 1918. In 1928 he added to his long career another accolade by becoming a professor in Bacteriology at the University of London where he wrote may articles on Bacteriology, immunology and Chemotherapy.
Discovery of penicillin
It was penicillin that really put Alexander Fleming on the map though the discovery was accidental. Initially, Fleming was investigating properties of staphylococci. However, his laboratory was often untidy due to a lot of research work. He once stacked all his cultures of staphylococci in a bench in his laboratory and upon his return he found that the culture had been contaminated with a fungus, and after spotting the mould, Fleming spotted a ‘mould juice’ that he later renamed penicillin (Hugh, 2002). He carried out some investigations which proved that penicillin has some positive effects of anti-bacteria affected various bacteria such as staphylococci and other pathogens that cause diphtheria, meningitis and pneumonia but the drug nevertheless did not address the problem of Gram negative bacteria that cau ...
Failed science experiments article
This document summarizes the discovery of two important materials: plastics and penicillin. It describes how plastics were discovered by accident through Charles Goodyear's experiments with rubber and sulfur and John Wesley Hyatt's spilled bottle of collodion. It also recounts how Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin by accident when he noticed a mold growing in one of his dirty petri dishes that seemed to kill the surrounding bacteria, an observation which led to the identification of penicillin as an antibiotic. Both plastics and penicillin have gone on to have huge impacts despite originating from accidental discoveries.

2009 compounds2
The document defines key chemical terms like compounds, molecules, chemical formulas, and diatomic molecules. It explains that compounds are formed when two or more atoms chemically bond together, giving the example of sodium and chlorine forming salt. Chemical formulas use subscripts to indicate the number of atoms of each element in a molecule, while coefficients indicate the number of molecules. It notes that seven elements - hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine - always exist as diatomic molecules with two atoms of the same element bonded together.
classification of elements
The document describes the classification of elements on the periodic table. Elements are arranged vertically into groups based on their valence electrons and horizontally into periods based on their atomic number. Metals are generally found on the left side of the periodic table, are shiny, good conductors, malleable, and ductile. Nonmetals are generally found on the right side, can exist as solids, liquids or gases, are typically dull and brittle, and poor conductors. Metalloids border both sides and have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Study guide
The document provides an overview of different types of alternative energy sources including renewable and non-renewable resources. It discusses key topics such as fossil fuels, nuclear energy, solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, hydroelectric energy, and biomass energy. For each type of energy, it covers concepts like energy sources, processes, advantages, disadvantages, and major historical events. The goal is to provide students with essential information to study alternative energy topics.
We've got the power instructions and rubric
Students will be split into groups and assigned a US state. They must research which single energy source (e.g. solar, wind, coal) would best power their assigned state. Groups will present their findings and reasoning in a PowerPoint or Glogster. The project aims to answer "If you were starting a town that could only run on one type of energy source, what energy source would you use and why?". Students will be graded on selecting an energy source, justifying their choice, and presenting their research.
Biomass energy
This document discusses biomass energy, identifying fuels like trees, grasses, crops and residues that can be used, and describing how biomass produces electricity by heating water into steam to turn a turbine. It lists current uses of biomass as ethanol, space heating and cooking, and notes pros as biomass being available worldwide and potentially sustainable, while cons include needing fossil fuels for harvesting and transport and high production costs.
Hydroelectric power
Hydroelectric energy is electricity generated from flowing water, which is influenced by gravity to turn turbines at hydroelectric dams and plants. The largest hydroelectric plant is China's Three Gorges Dam, while the largest in the US is the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington. Hydroelectric power has advantages like longevity and lack of pollution but also disadvantages like high costs, potential for damage if not built correctly, and geological effects of large dams.
Solar energy
The document discusses solar energy, explaining that the sun produces energy through nuclear fusion, and that this energy radiates from the sun as light. It describes how solar panels can collect the sun's energy by using photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into electricity or heat. Finally, it notes that solar energy would be most profitable in areas that receive strong, consistent sunlight and have the space needed for large solar installations.
Nuclear power plants
The document summarizes the key components and process of a nuclear power plant. It describes how nuclear fission in the core produces heat that is used to heat water into steam in a heat exchanger. The steam then powers turbines that generate electricity. After being used, the steam is cooled, usually using water or air, and the cycle repeats. A limiting factor of nuclear power is that the radioactive waste from uranium and plutonium fuel takes thousands of years to become stable, posing challenges for long-term storage and disposal.
Nuclear energy
This document summarizes key aspects of nuclear energy including: how nuclear fission produces energy from atoms; the most common nuclear fuels of uranium and plutonium; the two major nuclear accidents being Three Mile Island in the US and Chernobyl in Ukraine; and both the advantages of nuclear providing large amounts of energy without air pollution and the disadvantages of nuclear waste and use of non-renewable resources.
Fossil fuels
The document discusses the three main types of fossil fuels - petroleum, natural gas, and coal. It explains how they were formed from ancient plant and animal matter, and their different characteristics and uses. It also addresses the dangers of burning fossil fuels and ideas for conservation, since fossil fuels are non-renewable resources that could run out within a century if not properly managed.
2010 Speed And Velocity
Distance is the separation between positions, time is the period between events, and speed is a measure of how fast an object moves and changes position. Speed is calculated as distance divided by time and is commonly measured in meters per minute or kilometers per hour. Velocity differs from speed in that it includes both the speed of an object's motion as well as its direction.
2010 Motion
This document discusses frames of reference and their use in describing position and motion. It defines key terms like position, frame of reference, and motion. The most common frame of reference is the earth, but frames can also include moving objects like cars, cameras, or airplanes. Motion is described as a change in position relative to the chosen frame of reference.
Collaboration
This document lists various tools for video conversion, adding video capabilities to web browsers, downloading video add-ons, sharing presentations, using open source office software, and creating and sharing documents and presentations online for free. It also provides the URL for the class wiki site that will be used to distribute tutorials and showcase student work.
2010 Balancing Equations
This document discusses balancing chemical equations by making the number of atoms equal on both sides of the equation. It explains that chemical equations depict the reactants and products of a reaction and their relative amounts. It also discusses that chemical equations must be balanced according to the law of conservation of mass, so that the same number of atoms of each element exist on both sides of the balanced equation. Coefficients are used to balance equations by adjusting the relative quantities of compounds, but subscripts cannot be changed.
Periodic Table Project
The document provides requirements and guidelines for a periodic table unit project where students create a "Wanted" poster for a chosen element. The poster must be half a standard poster board size and include: an illustration of the element or its uses; descriptions in the student's words of the element's "crimes," aliases, physical properties, discoverer, discovery details, location, common compounds and reactivity, dangers, and a picture; and be neatly presented with correct spelling. Sections are worth various point values totaling 100 points.
Periodic Table Project
The document provides requirements and guidelines for a periodic table unit project where students create a "Wanted" poster for a chosen element. The poster must be half a standard poster board size and include an illustration of the element. It should contain 9 items of information written in the student's own words: 1) what the element is "wanted for", 2) aliases, 3) a description, 4) the discovering officer, 5) the discovery report, 6) where it was last seen, 7) known associates, 8) a warning label, and 9) a picture. Each item is worth a certain number of points out of a total 100.
2009 Compounds2
The document provides information about chemical compounds and formulas:
1. It defines a compound as two or more elements chemically joined together to form a new substance with different properties than the elements.
2. It explains that a molecule is the smallest piece of a compound that retains the compound's properties.
3. It describes how chemical formulas use subscripts to indicate the number of atoms of each element in a compound, and coefficients to indicate the number of molecules.
Reactions2010
The document discusses chemical reactions and the four main types: synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, and double replacement. It defines key terms like reactants and products. Synthesis reactions combine two elements to form a compound. Decomposition reactions involve a single reactant breaking down into simpler products. Single replacement reactions involve one element replacing another in a compound. Double replacement reactions swap ions between two compounds. The law of conservation of mass is also mentioned.
Classification Of Elements
This document describes how elements are classified and organized on the periodic table. It defines metals, nonmetals, and metalloids, and explains their characteristic properties. Metals are shiny, solid conductors that are malleable and ductile, while nonmetals exhibit varying states, are dull, and are poor conductors. Metalloids have some properties of both. Elements are arranged vertically in groups with the same number of valence electrons and horizontally in periods with the same number of electron shells. The periodic law states that properties repeat periodically with increasing atomic number.
