work starting the study of genetics. Dimitri Mendeleev created a chart using John Dalton’s work consisting of elements and atoms‚ later on called the Periodic Table. Marie Curie and her husband‚ Pierre Curie found two missing elements of the table‚ radium and polonium. These discoveries caused more debates‚ opening a wider range of scientific answers to previously thought correct studies. The theories drove more scholars to observe things in a scientific view. One of the social sciences was psychology

It is the time! They started to fly up above‚ and while they are flying‚ they rest for a while in the land of Thorium. Then after several minutes‚ they began to fly again.

In the poem “Power” she talks about the famous scientist Marie Curie‚ and how she found both elements Polonium and radium. She also discovered radioactivity‚ which means that she was working with radioactive elements her whole working life. The radioactive elements caused her to get sick and eventually die. In her poem “Phantasia for Elvira Shatayev” she talks about

What do Kingda Ka and the discoverer of radioactivity‚ Marie Curie‚ have in common? Actually‚ there is a lot more than you would think. You might say to yourself that they are completely different‚ which is correct‚ yet incorrect. One thing is a rollercoaster and the other is a famous scientist‚ but when you look past just their physical descriptions‚ you will see how much they actually are alike. They both follow similar paths and they both faced many hardships‚ but also many great things. Firstly

challenges she faced. It wasn’t until 1895‚ when she married renowned physicist Pierre Curie that she discovered her true potential. ‘They completed each other’. Not long after‚ the discoveries were starting to come quickly with the couple discovering radium‚ which ‘was important’ as it really opened the door of the nuclear age. Marie’s persistence was in the end rewarded when her and husband Pierre were awarded with the Nobel Prize in 1903. Text Three – Poem: c) Text Three ‘Ithaka’ is
