W h y a re n 't p e o p le m o re in te re s te d in science?
Welcome to my blog, where I write about the things
that really interest me! This week I want to talk a bit
about science, scientists and science stories.
Let's start with Newton. We all know the story, don't
E U R E K A !
we? Back in about 1666, Isaac Newton was visiting his
mother one day and was walking around in her garden.
He sat down under an apple tree and started thinking.
(Newton was always thinking about something, that's
what scientists do.) So, he was sitting and thinking when
an apple fell out of the tree and hit the ground beside
him. (Some people say the apple fell on his head, but who
knows?) And Newton thought about why things fall down
and not up or sideways. And he got the idea of gravity.

OK, so a Greek mathematician was sitting in his bath one


day, more than two thousand years ago, and while he
was getting out, he noticed that the water went down
in the bath. So he got back in, and the water went back
up.'Now I understand!'shouted Archimedes - actually,
he shouted 'Eureka!' because he was Greek, not English.
He saw that the level of the water in the bath was
directly related to exactly how much of his body was in
the water, that this relationship was constant - it never
changed! Some people say that he was so happy about
his discovery that he ran out into the street without
putting his clothes on. No, that probably didn't happen
either, but he had a good reason to be happy.This was a
very important moment in our understanding of maths
and physics.
Nice story, isn't it? Only it's probably not true. Or, at The stories are hard to believe. But the important thing
least, we've got no way of knowing if it's true. It's a bit is that Archimedes and Newton really did exist, and they
like Archimedes and the bath. You don’t know that one? really did come up with those important ideas. Newton
worked out that if the Earth's gravity has an effect on the
movement of an apple, then it probably has an effect on
the movement of the moon, too - and all kinds of new
ideas and discoveries came from that.
■ T H iN K V A L U E S ^ ^ H I^ H
And you might say that these discoveries were accidents,

1 Look at the photos. W hat things can you see in each one?

2.15 Read and listen to the article about five scientists.


Number the photos 1-5.

Great scientists
1 Galileo (Italy, 156 4 -1 6 4 2 )
Galileo - his full name was Galileo Galilei - is sometimes called
'the father of modern science'. He was a scientist, mathematician
and astronomer (someone w ho looks at the stars and planets).
W hen he was alive, telescopes were still quite basic, and he
made many improvements to them.

His best-known achievement was to show that the Earth


moves around the sun, and not the sun around the Earth
(although he was not the first man to have the idea).

2 Louis P asteu r (Prance, 182 2 -1 8 9 5 )


Louis Pasteur was one of the people w ho started the area of
science that we now call microbiology. He did many things
during his life, but he is remembered mostly because of the
work that he did w ith milk. W hen milk is about tw o days old,
it starts to get bacteria (very small things that carry disease),
and this makes it dangerous to drink - people can get diseases.
Pasteur developed a w ay to prevent this happening. The
process is called 'pasteurisation'.

2 K arl L andsteiner (A ustria, 186 8 -1 9 4 3 )


Landsteiner worked in Vienna on many scientific things.
Together with a man called Erwin Popper, he helped to identify
the virus that causes a disease called polio.

But even more importantly, in 1901 he discovered the three


main blood groups - A, В and О - and showed that it is possible
to transfer blood from one person to another person. This led
to the first ever blood transfusion in 1907, in New York.

4 Francis Crick (B ritain, 191 6 -2 0 0 4 )


and Ja m es W atson (USA, bo rn 1928)
In 1953, in Cambridge, UK, Crick and Watson told the world that
they had found 'the secret of life'. The secret is the structure
of DNA, the material that makes genes, the things we get
from our parents that control how we grow. Their discovery
meant that w e now know much, much more about the human
body. And with that knowledge, there have been enormous
improvements in medicine and medical research, as well as in
historical research and solving crimes.

5 J a n e Goodall (B ritain, born 1934)


Jane Goodall is a scientist w ho has studied primates, especially
chimpanzees, her w hole life. She has studied their family groups,
their use of tools and their emotions. Her work has made it
clear that chimpanzees and other primates (gorillas, for example)
are not as different from people as w e used to think. Goodall
has shown the world that w e need to treat the animals around
us w ith respect and protect them.
