Pioneers of
Science
Science
This scientist formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation, laying the foundation for classical mechanics.
Isaac Newton
This natural process allows plants to convert sunlight into chemical energy, which forms the basis of life on Earth.
Photosynthesis
These machines are designed to perform tasks automatically, often using sensors or pre-programmed instructions.
Robots
This portable device allows people to communicate, browse the internet, and access digital applications from almost anywhere.
Smartphone
This term comes from the Latin word scientia, meaning “knowledge”, and refers to the systematic study of the natural world.
Science
This naturalist proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection, explaining how species change over time.
Charles Darwin
This antibiotic, accidentally discovered by Alexander Fleming, transformed medicine by effectively treating bacterial infections.
Penicillin
This branch of technology enables computers to simulate human intelligence, learning, and problem-solving.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
This global network connects computers and devices worldwide, allowing instant sharing of information and communication.
Internet
This 19th-century chemist formulated the periodic table, organizing elements by atomic weight and chemical properties, transforming chemistry.
Dmitri Mendeleev
This monk conducted experiments with pea plants that led to the discovery of the fundamental laws of heredity.
Gregor Mendel
The twisted ladder structure of this molecule, discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick, carries genetic information in all living organisms.
DNA Double Helix
This renewable energy technology captures sunlight and converts it into electricity to power homes, businesses, and devices.
Solar Power
This technology creates a simulated digital environment that users can interact with, often used in gaming and training applications.
Virtual Reality (VR)
She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, recognized for her pioneering work in radioactivity.
Marie Curie
This scientist proposed the theory of continental drift in 1912, revealing that Earth’s continents are constantly moving.
Alfred Wegener
This scientific model, proposed by Copernicus, states that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun.
Heliocentrism
This technology allows scientists to precisely edit specific genes in living organisms, offering potential cures for genetic disorders.
CRISPR
This manufacturing technology creates three-dimensional objects by adding material layer by layer based on digital designs.
3D Printing
This ancient civilization is credited with some of the earliest recorded observations of stars, seasons, and natural phenomena, laying the foundations for early science.
Sumerians
This physicist developed the uncertainty principle and made fundamental contributions to quantum mechanics.
Werner Heisenberg
This theory, developed by Louis Pasteur, states that microorganisms are responsible for causing many diseases, revolutionizing medicine.
Germ Theory
This advanced form of computing uses quantum bits (qubits) to perform complex calculations far beyond the capability of classical computers.
Quantum Computing
This system connects everyday physical devices to the internet, allowing them to collect, share, and analyze data automatically.
Internet of Things (IoT)
The creation of the ___________, which uses observation, hypothesis, experimentation, and analysis, established the foundation for all modern science students now study in labs and research.
