  2. Teaching Aims • Improve the student’s ability of listening, speaking, reading and writing. • Let the students know the contribution to science that Madame Curie made. • Lead the students to learn the determination, the courage and the spirit of devoting herself to science. • Retell the text.

  3. Key Point • Learn the general idea of the text

  4. Difficult Point • Retell the text

  5. Marie Curie • November 7th 1867 • Born in Poland

  6. At that time women were not admitted to universities in Poland. So she went to France (Paris) → in 1891.

  7. She married to Pierre Curie who was also a bright scientist in 1895.

  8. Another scientist Henri Becquerel • He found that uranium gave off rays. • Marie decided to study this area and named the rays “radioactive”

  9. The discovery of Polonium. • In 1898 she discovered the first of these radioactive minerals, which she named “Polonium” in honor of her motherland—Poland.

  10. They worked together. • They devoted all their hours to working in their laboratory on their research.

  11. Her thoughts:“Life is not easy for any of us, we must work, and above all, we must believe in ourselves. We must believe that each one of us is able to do something well, and that ,when we discover what this something is, we must work hard at it until we succeed. ”

  12. Radium It looks like salt. Discovered in 1902

  13. The medal of Nobel Prize.

  14. After the first world war Madame Curie traveled to the USA. The president gave her a gram of radium for her future work.
