Maria Sklodowska-Curie 1867 – 1934 (Warszawa) (Sallanches) „You have to be persistent And believe, that you are able To do something well…”
Childhood and education • 5th child in family (1867), • 1876 – death of mather, • 1877 – private school ,of Madame Sikorska • 1878 – 1883 – gymnasium, • 1891 – 1894 – Sorbona studies, two BSc: physics and mathematics.
Marriage with Pierre Curie(1895 – 1906) • 1897 – daughter Irene was born, • 1904 – daughter Eva was born, • 1904 – tragic death of Pierre.
Scientific research • Investigation of radioactivity (together with H.Becquerel and P.Curie), • 1898 - discovery of two radioactive elements: polonium (Poland) and radium.
Hard work • Work in cold and moist cote, • work on exhalation of pure radium from uranium ore (8 tons, thousands of experiments), • 1903 – getting 1 decigram of radium chloride.
Awards • 1903 – Nobel Prize in physics for discovery of polonium and radium, • 1911 – Nobel Prize in chemistry for exhalation of radium as a pure chemical element
I Word War and action for Poland • Closing radium in a strong-box of bank • Creating 200 Roentgen casualty ward for war soldiers • 1932 – founding of Radium Institute in Warsaw, where Society of Maria Sklodowska – Curie in Tribute is placed.
Maria Sklodowska-Curieas physics teacher in a class of pupils at 12 years old • 1907 – creation Society of Scientists for Experimental Teaching. • Teachers: • Maria Sklodowska-Curie - physics, • Jean Perrin - chemistry, • Pierre Langevin - mathematics, • Henri Mouton - science, • Henrietta Perrin - French,history, • Alice Chavannes - English, German, geography, • Jean Magrou - drawing. • 2003 - publication of 10 physics lessons notes of Maria Sklodowska-Curie by Isabelle Chavannes in Paris.
Features of teaching method • Not verbal teaching, • learning from nature and demonstration of existing science hands-on experiments, explained by great scientists, • activity of pupils by doing individual investigations, • lively discussion with the use of simple and understandable language, • acquiring valuable social skills through personal examples of teacher genius: hard – working, persistence, honesty, sensitivity for needs of others, etc.
Success of pupils • Irena Curie-Joliot – Nobel Prize in 1935 for discovery of artificial radioactivity, • Francis Perrin – outstanding nuclear physicist, member of French Academy of Science, • Andre i Jean Langevin – nuclear physicists, • Isabelle Chavannes – chemistry engineer.
Welcome for the performance of Maria Sklodowska-Curie physics lessons!
