Marie Curie was a Polish and French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. She was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1867. Through her research on uranium rays, she discovered the elements polonium and radium, becoming the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, which she won in both Physics and Chemistry. She died in 1934 at age 66 from aplastic anemia caused by her exposure to radiation during her scientific research.

First let's watch the video and then tell me did you know who are we going to talk about today ? Yes correct she is marie sklodowska curie Her early life • Marie curie was born In Warsaw in the kingdom of Poland in 7th Novmber 1867 she was the fifth child and she was the youngest too. Her father Wladyslaw Sklodowski was a biologist and teacher and her mother Bronislawa Sklodowski who was a principal of a school for girls , when she was 12 years old her mother died because tuberculosis ( kind of illnesses ) and Unfortunately after 2 years her sister died Marie curie Achievements • In 1895 there were a scientist called Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen who has produced the electromagnetic radiation also known as the X-ray but he didn't figure out any ways to produce the X-ray, so she decided to work on the uranium which is one of the chemical elements in the periodic table and because of her hardworking they have find out that the radiation is not produced because an interaction between molecules but comes from the atom itself and in 1898 Maria has discovered polonium and it's also one of the chemical elements and in 1911 she won the nobel prize in Physics , and Marie also has built a hospital to treat the diseases with polonium in her city warsaw in 1932 Marie curie death • On1934 Marie went make to her hometown Poland she didn't know that it was her last time to see Poland after a few months Marie died on 4 July at the age of 66 at the hospital she was taking her medicine in because of the bone Marrow failure as a result of getting a lot of the dangerous chemical radiation and before her death in her last year she wrote a book about the radioactivity. • However Marie curie was one of the greatest scientists.
