March is Women’s History Month, so this week we are recognizing one of the world’s most famous scientists, Marie Curie, known for her discovery of radium and polonium, her work on radioactivity, and her contributions to cancer treatment.
Marie Curie is also notably associated with X-rays due to her significant contribution during World War I, where she developed mobile X-ray units, nicknamed “Little Curies,” which allowed battlefield surgeons to accurately diagnose injuries like broken bones and shrapnel in wounded soldiers.
Our activity is a craft and STEM project! We’ll create x-ray hands and use oil to make the bones in the hand translucent when placed on a sunny window! See-though x-ray vision!
Sunday Fun Days are suitable for all-ages, but younger children should make the crafts together with caregivers. One craft per child please.
Los Sunday Fun Days son para todas las edades, pero los niños más pequeños deben hacer las manualidades junto con los cuidadores. Una manualidad por niño por favor.
三月是妇女历史月,本周活动我们将纪念一位世界上最著名的女科学家居里夫人,她发现了镭和钋、在放射和癌症治疗方面均有卓越的贡献。
第一次世界大战期间,居里夫人发明了被称为“小居里”的可移动 X 光装置,使战场上的外科医生能够准确诊断受伤士兵的骨折和弹片等伤情。
今天的手工活动同时也是科学项目!我们将制作 X 光下的手骨模型,并涂油使手骨在阳光下呈现像X光片一样的半透明状!
