Facts About Some Of Our Famous Scientists The world we live in today wouldn’t be the same today if it were not for some of these famous scientists that are listed here. Their discoveries, ideas, research, experiments and determination are an inspiration to those who have and who will in the future will follow in their footsteps.

Albert Einstein Albert Einstein changed the world of science with his brilliant work in theoretical physics. His theories, equations and ideas became legends and his image is known around the world.

Sir Isaac Newton Isaac Newton developed the theory of universal gravitation as well as his famous three laws of motion, which have left his mark on physics, astronomy and mathematics.

Galileo Galilei Italian scientist Galileo developed telescopes and used them to make revolutionary observations about our solar system, discovering new objects like the moons that orbit Jupiter.

Charles Darwin Charles Darwin introduced the idea of natural selection to the world, backing up his theories on evolution with substantial observation information recorded on his long sea voyages.

Johannes Kepler Johannes Kepler was a famous German astronomer and mathematician who made a number of scientific breakthroughs including his three laws of planetary motion.

Louis Pasteur French chemist and microbiologist Louis Pasteur created a new level of understanding regarding microorganisms, the causes of disease and disease prevention.

Ernest Rutherford New Zealand born Rutherford was often referred to as the father of nuclear physics. He won a Nobel Prize in chemistry and developed a new model of the atom and mentored other scientists.

Jane Goodall Jane Goodall is known for her life long study of the behavior of chimpanzees in social situations as well as being a tireless animal rights advocate and humanitarian.

Michael Faraday What British physicist and chemist Michael Faraday lacked in formal education he more than made up for with brilliant experimental techniques and revolutionary electromagnetism ideas.

Edwin Hubble Edwin Hubble was a major contributor in the field of astrophysics. He helped open our eyes to the idea of other galaxies. He was honored by NASA who named the Hubble Space Telescope after him.

Pierre & Marie Curie The husband and wife combination of Pierre & Marie Curie contributed a lot to science through both their own individual work and their combined research efforts in the field of radioactivity.

James Maxwell Scottish physicist James Maxwell brought together the ideas of electromagnetic fields, describing their nature in publications such as ‘A Dynamic Theory of the Electromagnetic Field’.

Stephen Hawking British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking is famous for his work on black holes. He also wrote books such as ‘A Brief History of Time', which allows a wide audience to appreciate his ideas.

Aristotle Aristotle's famous work covered many subjects. He wrote about philosophy, politics, logic and music as well as developing many new and influential scientific ideas.

Nikola Tesla Nikola Tesla contributed to physics and engineering with a range of futuristic inventions, dramatic demonstrations and the development of alternating current electricity.

Nicolaus Copernicus At a time when astronomers believed the Earth was at the center of the Universe, Nicolaus Copernicus developed a radical new theory, kick starting modern astronomy in the process.

Leonardo da Vinci Leonardo da Vinci was more than just an incredible artist. Read about his studies of the human body, his fascination with flight and his many futuristic designs and sketches.

Alexander Graham Bell Alexander Graham Bell studied the human voice, experimented with sound and is credited with the invention of the first practical telephone among other scientific achievements.

Practice Risk: Learn From Failure - Challenging problems are solved through creativity and innovation, which comes at the cost of risk-taking. It is common to fear the discomfort of feeling unsuccessful, or the dread of increased study work - even the pressure to succeed, the anxiousness of fretting over whether grades are good enough. Unfortunately being afraid to take risks turns many young people away from science, technology, engineering and math.

Practice being a problem-solver instead, feeling challenged in a positive way. Every failure – and, more importantly, making another attempt – is an opportunity to discover, to grow. STEM subjects develop your problem-solving, critical thinking, and OHDGHUVKLS VNLOOV %XLOG \RXU FRQ¿GHQFH E\ EHOLHYLQJ LW LV RND\ WR take risks and sometimes fail.

The State of Israel • Israel is located in the Middle East and is about the size of New Jersey. In the east, Israel is bordered by Jordan, Syria, and the Palestinian Authority. Egypt borders Israel to the south, and Lebanon borders to the north.

• Israel borders two seas, the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea. The water in the Dead Sea is so salty that no plants can live there and the water is warm all year a round. The mud in the sea is good for your skin!

• The government is a Parliamentary Democracy. Israel is the only fully democratic country in the Middle East. Unlike in America, no one party has control of the government. Instead, all the political parties get seats depending on how many votes they get. This way, they have to all work together.

• The official languages in Israel are Hebrew and Arabic.

• Famous inventions like voicemail service were invented in Israel.

• The currency of Israel is new shekal.

• The population is estimated to be about 7,171,600 people!

• Major industries include military equipment, cut diamonds, jewelry, integrated circuits, printing machinery, and telecommunications equipment.

• The capital of Israel is Jerusalem. Jerusalem is considered a holy city by Jews, Christians, and Muslims.

• Israeli climate varies between snowy mountains and hot deserts.

• Israel has the highest number of scientists, techRooftop view of Jerusalem. nicians, and engineers per

capita in the world with 140 scientists, technicians, and engineers per 10,000 employees.

• In the last 60 years, Israel has planted over 200 million trees to bring back the woodlands that were destroyed.

Salt formations at the Dead Sea

• The city of Jericho is one of the oldest human settlements in the world! It is said to have been founded in 9500 BC. • Israel was founded in 1948, and is the only country in which the majority of its people are Jewish.

• All students in Israel have to serve in the military after high school. Men have to serve for three years and women have to

serve for two years.

• Israel is home to a type of community called a Kibbutz. A Kibbutz is a shared community where families live together and help maintain the Kibbutz. A child would attend school just like in America, but afterwards would go to a children’s house and participate in activities with other children there. Then they would return home to their families.

• Israel is the only country in the world who entered the 21st century with more trees in its territory than it had in the 20th century.

• Israel’s bank notes have Braille markings on them so that the blind can identify them easily.
