Marie Curie and the Discovery of Radium

Topics of study for chapters 3 and 4

~the Alps and Carpathian Mountains

~lakes
Did you know that the Dead Sea, the Caspian Sea, and the Aral Sea are not seas at all?  They are actual lakes?

~Kulig streamers and sleigh bells
This sounds like great fun.  Kuligs are festivals celebrated in Poland that include sleigh rides.  The sleighs are fixed so that many people can ride them.  The sleighs are decorated with streamers and sleigh bells and people dress in costumes.

~the power of an education

~the metric system

~sugar from beets
Did you know that almost 40% of the world's sugar comes from sugar beets?  Sugar extracted from sugar beets is exactly the same as sugar extracted from sugar cane.

~Poland's monetary system
One Polish Zloty is worth about 50 cents in American dollars so how much is 10 worth?

~generosity

~realizing your dreams

We are going to get busy working on some physics lessons and work with the periodic table.  Big scientific fun is on the way.
