Who - Marie Curie and

History
her husband Pierre Curie

How – They were partners to experiment

on radioactivity and accidentally
When – They discovered polonium and discovered radium and polonium
radium in 1898, receive a Nobel Prize in
physics for their work on radioactivity
 Introduction

Personal life ~

Marie Curie was born in 1867 and passed away in

1934 due to radioactivity (check bibliography 5). When Marie
Curie was a child, she is passionate about Science,
especially in physics and chemistry. She graduated and after a few years of
working with her experiment partner, Pierre Curie, they engaged and get
married.

Marie Curie and Pierre Curie discovered many new elements that could help
human lives. Curie's created their invention in their own laboratory in Paris,
France. They discovered polonium and radium in 1898.
 About the Curie’s inventions

History

I made this timeline using https://time.graphics/

The Curie’s discovered radium on 21st of December in 1898, polonium in 1898,

The Curies was given a Nobel Prize in physics for their work on radioactivity.

Before the Curie’s discovered happen, cancer is a serious global problem and still
happen now. Marie Curie find out about radium, it can be used to prevent cancer but
it’s too dangerous and rare, so the world hasn’t used it often yet. Her work through
radioactivity was where radium and polonium get discovered because both elements
are related.

Musée Curie was the lab where

Marie Curie and Pierre Curie work
on their experiments. It is a
historical museum and located in
Paris, France. The laboratory is
still using until these days by the
visitors and tours. (check bibliography 3)

Musée Curie, Paris is where the

Curies worked and it’s an Oceanic
city base on Climate Zones of
France. Oceanic cities like Paris
will have to experience oceanic
weather conditions due to weather
patterns. (check bibliography 2)
International Studies

Cancer causes death around the world, many people have suffered because of
it. This problem is about human good health and well-being (sustainable
development goal 3) and Marie Curie is also a part of it.

Radium, one of the Curie’s inventions was often used to treat various forms of
cancers and also kill cancer cells. Many workers who made radium-containing
products developed bone cancer. Radium was also found in paint and watches.
(check bibliography 4)

In my opinion, I think that by using Marie Curie invention can prevent cancer
and lead the humankind to be healthier.
 Conclusion

Marie Curie and her husband Pierre Curie were partners in a laboratory, located
in Paris, France. The Curie’s was the one who discovered polonium and radium
in 1898.

Radium is a radioactivity that can prevent the humankind from cancer disease
every year. Sadly, because radium is too dangerous to use and it’s rare, so the
world hasn’t used it often yet. If they were used then the Curie’s discoveries
can lead the human onto better health and might decrease the population of
people who are suffering and pass away from cancer.
 Evidence

 The Curies has discovered two inventions

called polonium and radium. Those two
elements are both dangerous, both rare
and both useful for human lives. This is a
primary source.

 Cancer population statistics in 2008 was

only 12.7 million and 7.6 million cancer
cases and deaths compared to 14.1 million
and 8.2 million in 2012 (check bibliography 1). These
prove that the world hasn’t used her
inventions at all. This is a primary source.

 The laboratory Musée Curie is still used for

tours and visitors today, and you can find it
on Google Maps (check bibliography 3) which is a road
map. This is a primary source.
