Telling a story: Activity 1

Marie Curie
Introduction
Marie Curie was a Polish scientist who worked in France and became the most famous
female scientist in the world.
Her early life
Marie was born in Warsaw, on November 7, 1867. She was a bright child, but at that time,
women couldn't go to university in Poland. In 1891, she went to Paris to study physics. She
met Pierre Curie there, and they got married.
The important things she did
Pierre and Marie worked together on 'radioactivity'. Between 1898 and 1902, they discovered
polonium and radium and received the Nobel Prize for Physics. At first, the prize was for
Pierre only, but he wanted Marie to receive it, too. Pierre died in a road accident in April
1906. One month later, Marie became the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne University.
After five years of teaching and doing research, she received a second Nobel Prize.
Her final years
Curie's work made the use of X-rays possible, and during the First World War, Marie drove
trucks with X-ray machines to the soldiers on the front line. A few years later, Marie began to
have problems with her health. Then, the doctors discovered that she had leukaemia. It was
from all the radioactivity she received in her work. Finally, she died on July 4, 1934.
