2. Microbiology Scientists with names as Units Microbiology Scientists with names as Units Koch developed a new method to test whether a particular micro-organism was the cause of a disease. Koch used experiments to identify the bacterial causes of anthrax, tuberculosis and cholera. Louis Pasteur invented pasteurization and discovered the germ theory of disease. André-Marie Ampère was a French physicist and mathematician who is a founder of the science of electromagnetism, which he referred to as "electrodynamics". Swedish astronomer, Anders Celsius invented the centigrade scale and thermometer. Anders Celcius Robert Koch Louis Pasteur Andre-Marie Ampere Scientists with names as Units Microbiology Scientists with names as Units Microbiology Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek is considered the father of microscopy because of the advances he made in microscope design and use. Martinus was a Dutch microbiologist who was the first person to use the term "virus" for an invisible disease-causing material smaller than bacteria. James Prescott Joule studied the nature of heat. He influenced the First Law of Thermodynamics and formulated the Joule’s laws which deal with the transfer of energy. The Pascal is a unit of atmospheric pressure named after Blaise Pascal, whose experiments greatly increased knowledge of the atmosphere.

4. Microbiology Scientists with names as Units Joseph Lister known as the ‘father of antiseptic surgery’. He introduced sterile surgery - hand-washing, sterilising instruments and spraying carbolic in the theatre while operating - in order to limit infection. James Watt, the Scottish inventor and engineer - well renowned for his improvements in steam engine technology. A unit of measurement of electrical and mechanical power - the watt - is named in his honour. Joseph Lister James Watt

5. Women in Science Women in Science Women in Science Marie Curie conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. Her achievements included a theory of radioactivity and the discovery of two elements, polonium and radium. Curie's research was crucial in the development of x-rays in surgery. Jane is considered to be the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees. She is best known for her 45-year study of social and family interactions of wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania. Rosalind Elsie Franklin was a British biophysicist and X-ray crystallographer who made crucial contributions to the understanding of the structures of DNA, viruses, coal, and graphite. Jane Goodall Rosalind Franklin Marie Curie Women in Science Women in Science Maria Goeppert-Mayer proposed the nuclear shell model of the atomic nucleus. Rachel Louise Carson was an American marine biologist and conservationist who warned the world of the environmental impact of fertilizers and pesticides and advanced environmental movement.

8. Road Building Road Building Road Building Patented modern tarmac. He noticed that spilled tar on the roadway kept the tar down and created a smooth surface. His patent involved mechanically mixing tar and aggregate and then compacting the mixture with a steamroller. Believed a road should have good foundations and allow rainwater to drain into ditches. He worked out a way to build a road across a bog using a series of rafts made from ling (a type of heather) and furze (gorse) tied in bundles as foundations. Established the first scientific approach to road building. First, a convex foundation was excavated to encourage water to drain off the surface. Next, large stones were laid and covered with smaller stones. Finally a third layer of hard broken stone, (about the size of walnuts) was spread to produce the surface layer. Edgar Purnell Hooley John Metcalf Pierre-Marie-JérômeTrésaguet Road Building Road Building McAdamintroduced tar (originally coal tar) to bind the road surface's stones together. Telford was dubbed The Colossus of Roads. He improved on methods for the building of roads by improving the selection of stone based on thickness, taking into account traffic, alignment and slopes.
