My inventions today

Today I made a foosball game with a shoe box , playmobiles, pencils , paintbrushes , scissors and tape . It was pretty hard to make but I did it . I also made a pulley elevator out of salt boxes , a lamp and some string . It works by putting a weight in one box that makes the other box go up !

My periscope and my ice ball

Today my siblings and I made a ice ball by filling a water ballon and putting it in the freezer . 2 hours later we opened the freezer and we had a ice ballon ! I cut the part of the ballon that was tied and wallah ! A ice ball !

I also made a periscope out of a "Quaker oats " box here's how it works : your eyesight looks at one mirror at the bottom of the box and if you angle the mirror right you can see the top of the box and put a mirror there it reflects your eyesight to a hole at the top and you can see !

Marie curie and radioactivity

Marie curie was a scientist who studied radioactivity . radioactivity is when a atom decays it let's of particles ( like protons and neutrons) and become a totally different atom . and she was interested in science since she was very young .she was not allowed to go to school in poland (poland was part of russia and the poles hated the Russians ) though . Because of her passion of science she went to Paris for college and became one of the first woman professors there. And married a French man called Pier Curie . The curies experimented with uranium and Marie
Came up with an idea that radioactivity was caused within the atom and that the atom was changing .Before her scientist's thought atoms did not change . She found out that substances with more uranium had stronger rays and substances with less uranium have weaker rays . She experimented with a mineral called thorin and see found the same results as with the uranium and called it radioactivity . She execrated uranium from a rock called pitchblende she discovered that the pitchblende had a stronger radioactivity then uranium she
execrated from the pitchblende . So with pier's help she found two new
Elements from the pitchblende called polonium Po 84 and radium Ra 88 . In 1903 The curies and Henri becquerel ( who found radioactivity but did not name it ) revived the noble prize in physics and in Marie got the noble prize for chemistry for finding the two elements . radioactivity was useful but also harmful Marie died of a blood
Disease caused by radioactivity .
