Madame Curie1867165438+10 was born in Warsaw, Poland, when Poland was under Russian rule. Mary's parents are both teachers, and soon after her birth (she is their fifth child), they lost their positions as teachers. To make ends meet, they packed some students' meals. To this end, young Mary had to help cook and work long hours every day. However, she still won the excellent medal for middle school students. After graduating from middle school, she became a tutor. 189 1 year, she went to Paris and entered the University of Paris to study physics and mathematics. When she graduated, she ranked first in her class. 1894, she met the French physicist pierre curie, and they got married the next year. 1898, French physicist Antoine Henri Becquerel discovered that uranium-containing substances can emit a mysterious ray, but failed to reveal the mystery of this ray. Mary and her husband, pierre curie, both undertook the work of studying this kind of radiation. They separated and analyzed pitchblende under extremely difficult conditions, and finally found two new elements in July 1898 and February 12. Madame Curie, Marie Curie, was a French scientist originally from Poland. She and her husband, pierre curie, were both early radioactive researchers. They discovered the radioactive elements polonium and radium, so they worked with the French physicist Henry. Becquerel shared the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics. Later, Madame Curie continued to study the application of radium in chemistry and medicine, and won the 19 1 1 Nobel Prize in chemistry for separating pure metal radium. To commemorate her native Poland, she named one element polonium and the other element radium, which means "radioactive substance". In order to prepare pure radium compounds, it took Madame Curie another four years (MarieCuI7e, 1867 jujube 1934) to extract1o0mg of radium chloride from several tons of pitchblende residue, and the relative atomic mass of radium was preliminarily determined to be 225. This simple figure embodies the hard work and sweat of the Curie couple. 1In June, 903, Madame Curie took "Research on Radioactive Substances" as her doctoral thesis and obtained a doctorate in physics from the University of Paris. In June165438+1October of the same year, the Curies were awarded the David Gold Medal by the Royal Society. In February 65438, together with Bekkerel, they won the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics. 1906, pierre curie died in a car accident. This heavy blow did not make her give up her persistent pursuit. She fought back her grief and redoubled her efforts to complete their beloved scientific career. She continued her husband's lecture at the University of Paris and became the first female professor at the university. 19 10, her famous book on radioactivity was published. She cooperated with Mou and others to analyze pure metal radium and measure its properties. She also measured the half-lives of oxygen and other elements and published a series of important works on radioactivity. In view of the above great achievements, she won the Nobel Prize in chemistry at 19 1 1, becoming the first great scientist to win the Nobel Prize twice in history. The founder of radiation science, who suffered from scientific hardships, died unfortunately on July 4, 1934 on/kloc-0 because of years of efforts. She devoted her glorious life to the scientific cause of mankind. Moral education and character cultivation Madame Curie realized a truth from the whole scientific career and life path: the achievement of human wisdom depends largely on the nobility of character. Therefore, she influenced and extended the spirit of pursuing career and noble morality all her life to her children and students, and used various opportunities to cultivate children to form good moral character. Madame Curie's moral education includes four aspects: (1) to cultivate their frugal and simple moral quality. Her love for her daughter is manifested as a kind of temperate love and a kind of rational love. She strictly controls her life and asks them to "save money for their ambitions". She educated her daughter and said, "Being poor is inconvenient, but being too rich is not necessarily a good thing. We must make a living on our own. " (2) Cultivate their unrealistic and practical style. She warned her two daughters, "We shouldn't waste our lives." (3) Cultivate their brave, strong, optimistic and overcoming difficulties. She often encourages her daughter: "You must have perseverance, especially self-confidence." (4) Educate them that they must love their motherland. Madame Curie not only taught them Polish, but also infected Elena and Eve with her actions of helping the scientific development of the motherland and caring for Polish students. What the daughters can't forget in particular is the childlike love shown by the new element "polonium" named after the motherland Poland. Therefore, Madame Curie's daughters have become outstanding talents, especially the Elena couple, who not only inherited Madame Curie's scientific career, but also inherited her mother's noble character. 1940, the couple donated the patent right to build an atomic reactor to the National Research Center. Madame Curie is not only a great scientist, but also has a noble character. She also warned her children not to waste their lives because of thrift. We should follow Madame Curie's example, study hard and get better results than Madame Curie.
