-both held the

view that
matter could
be divided into
tiny atoms.
3.Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

-he studied the

behavior of
falling bodies &
formulated
laws about the
behavior of
these objects.
4.Johannes Kepler (1571 1630)

-he discovered
that the
planets follow
an elliptical
orbit.
5.Robert Boyle (1627-1691)
-he formulated
one of the laws of
gases stating the
relationship
between pressure
volume at
constant
temperature.
6.Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727)

-Newton
formulated
the laws of
motion and
of universal
gravitation.
 7.Benjamin Franklin (1706-
1790)
– Franklin is best
remembered for his
famous kite
experiment to study
lightning and his
invention of the
lightning rod to
 Michael Faraday (1791-1867)

-Faraday proved
that magnets
can be used to
produce an
electric current.
8.Count Rumford (1753-1814)
and James Joule (1818-1889­
)

-they
investigated
heat energy.
9.Thomas Young (1773-1829)
and Augustin Fresnel (1788-1827)
– the study of light
was further
advanced by these
two men. Young first
demonstrated the
interference of
light,substantiating
the wave theory of
light.
10. James Maxwell (1831-1870)

- he worked on
electromagnetism.
He formulated
general equations
on the
electromagnetic
field.
11. Wilhem Roentgen (1845-1923)
and Henri Becquerel (1852-1908)
-Roentgen discovered
x-rays in 1895 and
Becquerel discovered
radioactivity in 1896.
Studies on
radioactivity led to
the development of
nuclear physics.
12. Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
and Max Planck
(1858-1947)
-Einstein formulated
the theory of
relativity and Max
Planck formulated
the quantum theory
of which is the basis
of quantum
mechanics.
