Summary: |
|
| This is a very readable biography of Marie Curie and her discovery of radiation. | |
Teaching Ideas: |
|
| Readers may want to explore the interesting safety issues, both in terms of harm to Marie and Pierre and in terms of widespread use of radiation and its by-products. Students could create a bio poem for Marie. Class discussion might address the book from the perspective of women at the time, perhaps comparing Marie, as a woman scientist, to today's women scientists. | |
