Marie curie

Marie Curie
Radium is a radium material. Marie Curie made Radium and she discovered radium and Polonium. She discovered lots of things in her life even nuclear medicine.        

Marie Curie was born in November 7th 1867 in Warsaw, Poland. Pierre Curie was her husband but he died on the street by accident because a horse and a wagon ran over him because the man couldn’t control the horse. Marie Curie discovered Radium which is a radioactive material. She had two children, Irene and Eve. Marie won two nobel prizes, who she was the only person honoured as such in two science categories. She was also a professor at the university of France. Marie Curie was a scientist who discovered Radium and Polonium. Marie Curie is famous for discovering the element of Radium. She used acid 6 times, 60 tons of water and a long metal spoon to make Radium. The Radium was stronger than uranium 100 times stronger. Its strong enough to go through metal and you can’t see through it and its unbreakable. She died in July 4th 1934 by radioactive sickness in France.

The way that Marie Curie made the Radium and discovered it was smart and creative.       


                     




Wind power

A wind power is like a windmill but using the wind to make electricity. It spins a wind turbine and the bigger the size, the better the wind produces more electricity.

Some wind powers are also in some other countries. Here are the names of the farms of windmills around the world:

Gansu Wind Farm - China
Alta (Oak Creek - Mojave) - USA
Jaisalmer Wind Farm - India
Sheperds Flat Wind Farm - USA
Roscoe Wind Farm - USA
Horse Hollow Wind Energy Centre - USA
Capricorn Ridge Wind Farm - USA
Fowler Ridge Wind Farm - USA
Whitelee Wind Farm - UK
Fantanele Cogealac Wind Farm - Romania

Wind turbines work the opposite way of a fan. Instead of making wind by electricity, wind turbines use wind to make electricity. The wind turns the blades which spins the shaft and makes electricity. The electricity is sent through transmission and distribution lines to a substation, then on to homes, businesses and schools.

Wind power is good for our environment because its 100% clean and it doesn’t pollute the air and water. It helps to conserve other fuels which may be in short supply, and it doesn’t produce chemical pollution. Wind turbines use the wind to rotate blades that turns a rotor - which creates electricity. They range from very small turbines supplying energy for battery charging system.

Wind power is important because it helps stop Global warming. Wind power has good potential to lessen our dependence on traditional Materials like gas, oil even coal. Wind power does not make a mistake to our planet. Wind power is sustainable energy. turbines can make electricity by using kinetic energy.

Wind turbines harness the power of the wind and use it to generate electricity.

Spider that weighs as much as a new born puppy

World's Biggest Spider Weighs As Much As A Newborn Puppy
Near northern Brazil and southern Venezuela there is one of the biggest spiders that weighs as much as a newborn puppy. The giant terrestrial creatures that belong to the tarantula family live inside deep burrows in marshy or swampy areas, Mates dies soon after  but females can live up to 25 years. His eyesight is poor but his hearing is great. His fangs are almost 1 inch long. The spider has a leg span of up to 12 inches (30 centimeters). The Goliath has sensitive hair that tells him if there is danger. Its biggest dangers are big cats especially the jaguar and koati. If it’s in danger he scratches his hair and uses it like missiles on his enemies. When he does it, animals leave and lose their appetite and then the Goliath runs away.
