Galileo Galilei (1564-1642). Italian astronomer, physicist and mathematician Galileo Galilei changed the way we think. By inventing a mathematical approach to everyday experience, he discovered the laws of inertia, falling body and pendulum. With a telescope he built, he also made astronomic discoveries that convinced him of heliocentric view of the universe, which Copernicus had formulated earlier but had been afraid to publish. Galileo took the chance but he was forced to recant his findings before a Catholic Church tribunal in 1633.

Galileo Galilei discovered an important principle about gravity – that the rate at which an object _______ is not related to its weight.

Organic chemistry is the study of compounds containing carbon. It is called “organic” because scientists used to think that these compounds were found only in living things or fossils. However, vast numbers of different carbon-containing compounds can now be produced artificially in laboratories and factories, for use in industry. For example, drugs, plastics, and pesticides are all synthetic organic substances. About 4.5 million of the 5 million compounds known today contain carbon.

We determine how hot or cold something is by a measure called temperature. This tells how much energy the atoms (tiny particles) inside a body contain. The more energy the atoms contain, the faster they move, and the higher the temperature. For each element (simple type of substance), there are specific temperatures at which changes of state occur. These are known as melting and freezing points. Scientists believe that absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature, below which atoms would have no energy.

Pierre Curie became famous for his work on radioactivity and magnetism. From an early age he had great ability in mathematics. This led to his graduating from the University of Paris at just 18. His marriage to Paris immigrant Maria Sklodowska was the beginning of a world-famous partnership. Together they isolated two new radioactive elements, polonium and radium, and shared a Nobel Prize for physics in 1903 for their discovery of radioactivity. Pierre also worked on the properties of radioactive elements, identifying the existence of positive, negative, and neutral particles within an atom.

Electricity is a flow of negative charges called electrons. Electrons are particles that form a part of all atoms. These electric charges are measured in units called coulombs. Electricity is a very versatile form of energy that can be converted into many other forms of energy, including light and heat, direct current, which flows in one direction, and alternating current, which changes direction 60 times per second.
