club. I thought you might like to join.

Teacher: Quiet everybody, please. Peter is going to
present his project. Listen carefully because I
expect you to ask questions afterwards. You may
begin, Peter.
Peter: Marie Curie was the most famous woman
scientist of her day. She was born in Poland in
1867. Both of her parents were teachers. Because
her mother died when she was very young, Marie
had to work from a very young age in order to
help her family. When Marie was 24, she moved
to Paris where she attended university at the
Sorbonne. She studied maths and physics and she
was a good student. She worked with Pierre Curie,
another researcher in physics. They married in
1895. Together, they discovered radium and polo
150
nium. In 1903, Marie Curie received the Nobel
Prize in Physics. She was the first woman to ever
win a Nobel Prize. She shared this prize with her
husband and Henri Becquerel, a man who had
helped them with their research. Marie won
another Nobel Prize in 1911. Marie Curie is now
known as Madame Curie and the results of her
studies are still helping people who suffer from
certain illnesses. Madame Curie was indeed one of
historys greatest minds.
