Hedy Lamarr

By Charlotte

Hedy Lamarr had a double life. The public knew her as a glamorous movie star; she was known worldwide. But in her private life she was a brilliant inventor, only her closest friends knew. Today you will learn about Hedy’s childhood, acting career, inventions, and final her World War 2 efforts. Let's dive in.

First, will we learn about her childhood. Hedy Lamarr was born Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler on November 9, 1914. She was a daughter of a Jewish family and had a calm childhood. Hedy Lamarr has aways been very curious like Trying to impro things. Hedy’s Farther shared his love of science with her on their walks at the park in Vienna, Austria and so did Hedy. Young Hedy was crazy for motion pictures, whenever possible she’d sneak off to a movie theater when returning home, Hedy reenacted her favorite scenes, playing all the parts herself. Always dreaming, Hedy wanted to escape into the movie. By the time Hedy was a teenager, she decided to drop out of school and seek fame as an actress. She was a student of the theater director. Her first role was a bit part in 1930 “Money on the street.”

Let's head on over to Hollywood! Hedy’s first job was as a script girl at a movie station in Vienna, when the opportunity came up to be an extra in a movie. She won a minor role in a restaurant scene, this bit part, giving Hedy her first steps. Hedy Lamarr 5th film in German set her on fire! The film was called "Ecstasy". The notoriety of the film brought Hedy to HOLLYWOOD!!!!!!!! Some of Hedy's most famous films are Samson and Delilah, “Boom Town”, “Tortilla Flat”, “White Cargo”, “Ziegfeld Girl”, and “Ecstasy”, but her biggest box-office success was “Algiers”. Hedy also had a lot of jobs including acting, producer, additional crew, soundtrack, and archive footage. She is mainly known for being an incredibly famous actress. Hedy Lamarr also had some amazing nicknames from Hollywood - “Hollywood's loveliest legendary Queen of Glamour.” She was 5’7.

Next let's see what Hedy Lamarr invented The Hollywood movie star had a passion for science and engineering, “her brain overflowed with idea after idea for useful inventions.” Hedy Lamarr invented many useful inventions such as a new traffic signal, yellow light, glow in the dark dog collar, and many more. Hedy’s greatest invention is the frequency hopping spread spectrum. This is a breakthrough for scientists; it helps keep things private on our cell phones and defends computers from hackers. Hedy did not get much recognition for her amazing invention. In 1997 she and George Anthiel were honored with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and later that same year, Lamarr became the first female recipient of the BUBIE spirit of Achievement Award. Hedy Lamarr shattered stereotypes and earned a place among the 20th century’s most important women inventors.

Now let's learn what Hedy Lamarr did in World War 2. Hedy Lamarr helped a lot in World War 2, let's go see what she did. Hedy Lamarr's movies helped people escape the talk of war, if only for a few hours. Lamarr wanted to help with the war, so she worked really hard and came up with the Hopping system with Goege. Then they sent the patent application to the government they waited and waited, then more than a year later they received the patent they immediately handed it to the United States Navy unfortunately, the Navy had neither the time nor money. They refused to develop the invention, then they classified the technology secret!!! This prevents anyone including the inventors, from using it.

So, Hedy looked for another way to help her adopted country defeat the evil Nazis. She realized she could use her popularity to help win. She traveled across the country and held sale rallies. She sold 25 million dollars' worth of war bonds. Hedy also volunteered at the Hollywood canteens, a club for American servicemen soon to be sent into battle. To lift spirits, she would chat and dance with them. She was happy to have helped the soldiers and sailors.

Hedy Lamarr is a really cool lady and accomplished so many things. I loved researching her. I learned so many amazing things. She is a real role model; I admire her. I hope you enjoyed learning about Hedy Lamarr.

Marie Curie

Toxic discoveries

by Eleanor

Hello today I will be telling you the story of Marie Curie. This story starts with life on November 7th, 1867, with a child named Marie Curie. First, I will talk about her discoveries. Second, I will talk about her life, and last, I will talk about her education.

Marie Curie discovered two new elements, which she named radium and plutonium, and she won two Nobel Prizes for her discoveries. Let’s move on to her life.

She married Pierre Curie, and she had two daughters, Irene and Eve. Her favorite color was deep blue, and her favorite food was bread and butter. She died July 4th, 1934, due to radiation poisoning. Her husband died in 1904 at the age of 46, due to his bones weakening because of radiation, and also caused because of a street accident in Paris. Let’s move on to her education.

Marie got into Sorbonne, and despite the fact that she was far behind, she caught up and graduated top in her class!

I thought she was really cool because she was one of the first female scientists who graduated from college, plus she discovered two new elements, and won a Nobel Prize for each of them! I definitely think you should learn more about her!

Mary Leakey

By Frances

Hello and welcome! Today we will be talking all about Mary Leakey. She’s a very interesting person; First, I will be talking about is Fossils, Mary Leakey and finally, some books she made, Let’s start now.

First up is Fossils, Mary Leakey found a lot of fossils but some of them were: Laetoli prints [1978], Zinjanthropus skull [1959] Homo habilis [1960], and finally Proconsul Africans! [1948]

Next up is some cool stuff about Mary Leakey, she was born in London, England on February 6, 1913, then later, they moved to the U.S. She became a Paleoanthropologist, later, then in December Mary Leakey passed away in her sleep at the age of 83. She also married Louis Leakey in 1936; they had two sons: Jonathan and Philip. After Louis died in 1972, she continued leading excavations Olduvai and Laetoli until 1984. She was also Elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1979. She was Awarded the Hubbard Medal of the National Geographic Society in 1962 (second woman to receive it).

Finally, let’s talk about the books she made! The 3 books she made are titled: Excavations at the Njoro river, Cave Olduvai Gorge: Excavations in bed, and finally Olduvai Gorge: My search for early man, Disclosing the Past [1984]

In conclusion, I really enjoyed researching Mary Leakey! She genially sounds like and nice and fun person.

Albert Einstein

From life to laboratory: an informational document about the world’s greatest scientist;

By Gabe

Hello! I am researching Albert Einstein, the world’s greatest scientist. Today we will be talking about his discoveries, fame, and life.

It all started on March 14th, 1879; the day Albert Einstein was born. Einstein was born in Ulm, a town in Germany. He died at age 76. Einstein’s last words were spoken in German to a nurse who did not understand the language and thus are shrouded in mystery.1

Aside from that, I would like to point out that Einstein was in the “e” section in world book.2 He was also on Wikipedia.1 He was so famous that his brain was preserved by doctors.3

“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new” -Albert Einstein3

Einstein’s inventions and creations are Avogadro's Number, Brownian movement, Quantum theory of light, General theory of relativity, Special theory of relativity, The Photoelectric effect, Wave-Particle duality, the relationship between mass and energy Bose-Einstein condensate, and many, many, many more.4

I am a major fan of what Albert Einstein did. I hope you are too, because if you want to research more about him, here are the sources I used:

Charles Darwin

by Charles Darwin

Charles Darwin he is an interesting guy first of he made the theory of Evolution and his taste of exotic food let's talk about it so Charles Darwin Known for his adventurous spirit, he was a fan of exotic food, including armadillos, iguanas, pumas and giant tortoises, he famously declared a 20 pound rodent to be ‘the best meat I ever tasted’ he was a member of the ‘Glutton club’. and his theory he was famous for his theory of evolution by natural selection, which revolutionized our understanding of the natural world and is the foundation of modern evolutionary Biology.

So, he had a lot of kids like 10 kids sadly his first Daughter died he was devastated by her death by tuberculosis ate age 10, his second daughter Mary lived for only 23 days, the Darwin's last child Charles waring born when Emma was 48 years old, was a down syndrome baby who died of scarlet fever at 18 months old.

He was born in shrew bury, England his father, a doctor, had high hopes that his son would earn a medical degree at Elinburg university in Scotland. Charles Darwin, known for this theory of evolution, grew his beard at age 56, possibly as a deliberate effort to disguise himself. Charles Darwin dropped out of med school at the University of Edinburgh because he was deeply uncomfortable with the brutality of surgery and the sight of blood, as well as feeling little interest in medical practice.

He was religious and had some views evolved over time, starting with belief in God as first cause. His last words were ‘I am not the least afraid of death remember me tell all of my children to remember how good they have been good to me,’ last sentence, he also sadly died in 1882 at age 73 with symptom of ischæmic and cardiac failure, Although less, he still had episodic nausea and vomiting,

Charles Darwin's visit to the Galapagos Island in 1835 while on HMS profoundly influenced his development of the theory of evolution by natural selection. I hope you like it thank you to the people on the internet.

Valeri Bespalov

By Isaac

On April 26, 1986, at the nuclear power plant near the city of Pripyat Ukraine. A safety test went wrong. First, I will tell you what happened, then I will tell you about the Chernobyl disaster itself and last, some fun facts.

Hold on, lets go back a little bit. On April 26, 1986, at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant near the city of Pripyat Ukraine. A late night safety test went wrong, and the world experienced the worst nuclear accident of all time. Dozens were killed immediately and thousands over the ensuing years. The disaster let out more radiation than the nuclear bomb Hiroshima. The divers were to dive through reactor 4 to reach the cooling pools where they were going to drain them before the radioactive liquid hit them and blew up. They were successful. If they hadn’t drained the pools the devastation would have been ten times worse.

Then for some more information about the Chernobyl disaster. The accident was caused by a combination of factors including operators errors, design flaws and a lack of safety. The disaster led to evacuation of Pripyat and vast areas of Belarus. There were long term health effects too including thyroid cancer which starts in your thyroid gland and makes bad tumors.

Now to something less crazy, some fun facts about the diver Valery Bespalov. Valery lives in Kyiv Ukraine. Valery Bespalov is still alive some people think he and the other two died right after, and yes, Boris did die in 2005, but Valery and Oleksiy are still alive. The three men received the hero of Ukraine award after they drained the cooling pools and stopped the accident from blowing up.

I think these men are real heroes. Because all Ukraine and some of Russia would be uninhabitable without their bravery and courage.

ON April 26, 1986, at the nuclear power plant near the city of Pripyat Ukraine. A safety test went wrong. First, I am going to tell you what happened then to the Chernobyl disaster itself then some fun facts.

You want to know what happened right, well I'll tell you. On April 26, 1986, at the nuclear power plant at the city of Pripyat Ukraine a late night safety test went wrong, and the world experienced the worst nuclear accident of all time. Dozens were killed immindently and thousands over the ensuing years. The disaster let off more radiation than the nuclear bomb Hiroshima. The divers were to dive throw reactor 4 and drain the cooling pools before the radioactive liquid hit it and blew it up. They were successful. If they hadn't drained the pools the devastation would have been ten times worse.

Then for some more info about Chernobyl disaster. The accident was caused by a combination of factors including operators' errors design flaws and a lack of safety. The disaster led to the evacuation of Pripyat and vast areas of Belarus. There were long term health effects too including thyroid cancer which starts in your thyroid gland and makes bad tumors.

Now to talk about something less crazy some fun facts about Oleksiy ananenko. He was an engineer and he was the one that found the pipes and twisted the valves he and the other two received the hero of Ukraine award after.

I think these men made a real difference in Ukraine for they bravery they showed. They should be remembered as one of the Coolest men in history. Thank God.

Boris Baranok

By Joey

Nuclear has a lot of meanings, like warfare or chemistry but today I'm here to tell you about nuclear power plants. Disaster strikes in Pripyat, Ukraine at the nuclear power plant Chernobyl.

On April 6th, 1986, a safety test in reactor number 4 triggered the power to drop and then surge by accident. This caused a huge explosion spreading radiation and debris all around the plant. The police and firefighters evacuated people in under a day which was more than Anough time for the radiation to get into your body. Many people never saw their homes again. 4 days after the explosion they discovered a puddle of radioactive water under the reactor and soon scientists realized it would melt through the final safety guards. It would cause a series of explosions and would destroy a lot of Ukraine.

Someone had to do something to save millions of people. The plan was for three people to go down and use the release valves to release the puddle and make sure it didn't melt through the safety guard, but the problem was they still needed to find three people. Soon after that fortunately three people stepped up and their names were Alexei Anenenko, Valeri Bespalov, and Boris Baranov. These people knew there were going to be long term problems or probably death. Alexei Anenenko knew where the release valves were, Valeri Bespalov was an engineer, and Boris Baranov held the light and helped in other ways.

They went down on May 6th, 1986, and they wore basic diving equipment with wetsuits and radiation monitors. The more time the three were down there the more radiation poisoning they would get, so they went as fast as they could, but they knew no matter what they did they would still get a lot of radiation poisoning either way. They released all the water and came back later that day with a completed mission. After, the only side effects the divers got were increased chances of cancer and other diseases. They all lived surprisingly, and Boris Baranov was the only one who has died and that was in 2005 to a heart attack. Soon after the dive, all three of the divers received a high ranked reward called the hero of Ukraine.

So, these three stepped up to save millions with pure bravery, and they went in expecting they wouldn't come back but they defied what everyone thought. They didn't get paid to do this; they fully volunteered without even being asked. And through these actions they saved millions.

NIKOLA TESLA

By: Kane

Today I'm telling you about Nikola tesla some of these facts will blow your mind and I'm happy to tell you about Nikola tesla.

Now, I'll tell you about him and some facts. Nikola tesla was born on July 10th, 1856, and he made inventions that some people use every day. He made the tesla coil, AC, and Moters. Those are only three of his many inventions he made.

Now, let's look at some more inventions and his hobbies. It was said that tesla found interest in poetry, reading, and inventing things and those are a few fascinating hobbies. Nikola tesla made many inventions that includes, the tesla coil like I mentioned earlier, AC generators, and electric circuits and like about 40 more which is a crazy number of inventions.

And now for the mind-blowing facts I promised at the beginning. The first mind blowing fact is that numerous people stated that he could have possibly created the death star and its crazy! Just think about all the remote-control items he made. Another crazy mind-blowing fact is that Nikola tesla fell in love with a white pigeon and if I'm completely honest that's pretty mind blowing in my opinion. And the last fact that is a huge coincidence is that Nikola tesla was born during a lightning storm, and he worked with electricity.

And those reasons are why I like Nikola Tesla and think he is interesting.

Annie Jump Cannon

By: Vireo 

 Did you know that Annie Jump Cannon was a scientist who invented the stellar star spectra? I bet you did. Today I Will be talking about her life as if it was a timeline story. Now you might be wondering why she decided to be a scientist or how she died. I am going to tell you my story of Annie Jump Cannon. Childhood Annie was born in Dover, Delaware, on December 11, 1863, and was the oldest of three sisters. She studied the stars with her mother using an old astronomy textbook. School Annie studied physics and astronomy at Wellesley College. Annie graduated in 1884 and went back to Delaware. Her Mother died in 1894 and she went to Radcliffe to have access to a telescope. Cannon learned photography. She took photos of the sun's eclipse. Her photos were published at the 1893 world’s fair.Later years In 1940 she published her first copy of the Stelar Spectra which is a unique way to classify stars used by scientists and can be memorized by saying Oh Be A Fine Girl/Guy Kiss Me (O B A F G K M). She retired in 1940 and died shortly after in Cambridge Massachusetts, April 13, 1940, from scarlet fever at the age of 83. And to wrap this up in a nice bow I will explain why I chose Annie Jump Cannon and why she is so amazing, because this is a report on what makes Annie Jump Cannon so amazing. That is why I chose her too because just like I said Annie Jump Cannon is just a great person in real life. Annie was a normal person just like me and you but still accomplished so many amazing things and I hope you learned more about Annie Jump Cannon.

David Allen Sibley

by Weston

 
David Sibley wrote a series of awesome books about birding and the Sibley guide to trees, which is very strange because he is an American ornithologist. They talk about 800+ bird species of the US and Canada.

 
They talk about birds from Abert's towhees (medium sized red songbird) to zone-tailed hawks in just a few books. Mr. Sibley has also written a preface in a book about his adventures in creating the two field guides to birds of North America. Sibley lives in Concord, Massachusetts with his wife and two sons.

He travels all over the northeastern USA going birding. Also, He is 62 years old, and he was born October 22, 1961. Sibley also travels across North America leading birding tours, and he is an awesome bird painter. Also, he made a 2nd edition to his books the ‘Sibley Birds West’ and ‘Sibley Birds East’ 2016.

 
He is so important, because he has created field guides to North America that help birders with bird identification.

Andrea Ghez

Harper


Today I will be talking about Andrea Ghez. She is an astronomer and is known for many things. She went to many schools and is very smart. First, I will tell you about her job and education, then her Nobel Prize, lastly, her family and life.


Andrea Mia Ghez is an American astrophysicist and professor at the University of Los Angeles, California. Her research focuses on the center of the Milky Way. She studied the birth of stars – particularly binary stars, witch form in pairs. She got her education at the California Institute of Technology, and Massachis Institute of Technology. In 2004, Ghez was elected to the National Academy of Sciences, and in 2019, she was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society.


Ghez became the fourth women to be awarded the Nobel Prize in physics. The Nobel Prize was awarded to her for the discovery of super – massive black hole in the center of our galaxy. The Nobel Prize was shared with Roger Penrose, and Reinhard Genzel, for their discoveries relating to black holes.


Andrea was born on June 16th, in New York, 1965. She was raised in Chicago and attended the University of Chicago Lab School. The Apollo programs Moon landings inspired her to be the first female astronaut, and her mother supported her goal. Andrea has two sons, the ages of 10, and 14. Her husband's name is Tom.


I really enjoy Andreas’ interests and discoveries. She is a remarkably interesting lady. Yes, she is still alive, now at age 57. I hope you enjoy her too.

Neil Armstrong

 

To the moon with Neil Armstrong

By: Xander

Neil Armstrong was born in Ohio Wapakoneta and, he was born on August 8th, 1931. During his childhood at the early age of sixteen he got his pilot’s license. The college or university he went to was Purdue university. He went to the moon and took off in 1969 and the photographer that took the pictures of him on the moon was Michael Collins Whilst Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon and admired it.

His cause of death was from a cardiac surgery, he died on August 25th, 2012, but do not think he did not live that long, because he died at the age of 82 and he had a heart disease, if he did not get the surgery, he would have lower chances of surviving. It is sad because he died from the surgery and not the heart disease. Before he died, he lived in Indian Hill, Ohio.

Why you should care about this person is because he was one of the first people to walk on the moon, to do this he had to go on a lot of dangerous flight missions that could have ended his life early, so that is how he landed on the moon in 1969 and that is what he did to land on the moon in 1969. What I know he did was amazing, hopefully your opinion is the same.

Stephen Hawking

By Aedan C.

I did many things in my lifetime that I can’t include in my story but I will try to say most of it. Here is what I can fit in, My childhood, My career, part of my personal life and my Accomplishments.

First of all, my childhood. I was born into a family of doctors in Oxford 1942. In my family my dad was named Frank and my mom is Isobel. I also have three siblings who are named Philippa, Mary, and Edward. My family also liked to talk very fast and to talk faster we made our own language named Hawkingnese. My friends and I made fireworks and a computer called LUCE.

Second, my career. I was a physicist and used general relativity a lot. My best theory is the theory that there are giant dead stars called blackholes that sucks in things millions of miles away and even light. I also helped with the theory that the universe started in a big bang and the universe is still growing from the big bang. I also made a book called a Brief history of time if you want to read one of my books.

Third, part of my personal life. I had ALS which gradually paralyzed me over the decades then I lost my ability to speak at first I was able to speak with a handheld switch that connected to a computer then my cheek muscle movement then I got married but got divorced later and remarried.

Last of all, my accomplishments. I am credited with some of the biggest discoveries of gravity since Albert einstein. I also came up with Hawking radiation which is radiation that a blackhole produces and I worked with Roger Penrose on this project. Later in my life I was elected Member of the royal society which is a society that some of the most important scientists in the world are in.

That was a small part of my long life for you. I hope you enjoyed my story there. I was inspired to do this because I watched a movie on him and I think he had an inspiring story so I decided to study it.

Sally Ride

By Grace

Can you imagine what it would be like to be an astronaut? To get into a rocket ship, and fly into space? Can you imagine being a little kid, and growing up, all you wanted to do was go to space?! Then when you were finally grown up, you were told you can’t do it, just because you are a girl? Growing up, Sally was a bright student who loved science and math. She studied at Stanford University before beating out 1,000 other applicants for a spot in the National Aeronautics and Space Administrations (NASA) astronaut program. Sally Ride was the first American woman in space. She was part of the Challenger crew, and went to space 2 times. Sally was scheduled to take a third trip, but was cancelled after the tragic Challenger accident. In 2001, Sally started her own company to create educational programs and products known as Sally Ride Science, to help inspire girls and young women to pursue their interests in science and math.

Sally Kristen Ride was born on May 26, 1951 in Encino, California. Her father, Dale, was a political science professor and her mother volunteered as a counselor at a prison for women. Growing up, Sally had a strong interest in science and math. She also was an athlete and enjoyed playing tennis. Sally grew up in Los Angeles and went to Stanford University, where she was a double major in Physics and English. Sally received Bachelor’s degrees in both subjects in 1973. She continued to study physics at the University, earning a Master’s degree in 1975 and a Ph. D. in 1978.

Dr. Sally Ride went through the program’s rigorous training program and got her chance to go into space and into the record books in 1983. On June 18, Sally became the first American woman in space, aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger. As a mission specialist, she helped deploy satellites and worked on other projects. Sally returned to Earth on June 24. The next year, she again served as a mission specialist on a space shuttle flight, in October. Ride was scheduled to take a third trip, but it was cancelled, after the tragic Challenger accident on January 28, 1986. After the accident, she served on the presidential commission that investigated the space shuttle accident.

The Space Shuttle Challenger was a fatal incident, in the United States Space Program that occurred on Tuesday, January 28, 1986, during which the Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, killing all 7 crew members aboard. The spacecraft disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 11:39 a.m. The disintegration of the vehicle occurred after a joint on its right solid rocket booster failed at liftoff. There was a gap in between two pieces of medal, and they filled it in with a thing called O-ring seals. O-ring seals were not designed to handle the cold conditions, that were at this launch. The O-ring seals blew up the rocket.

After NASA, Ride became the director of the California Space Institute at the University of California, San Diego, as well as a professor of physics at the school in 1989. In 2001, she started her own company to create educational programs and products known as Sally Ride Science. Ride served as president and CEO. For her contributions, to the field of science and space exploration, Ride received many honors, including the NASA Space Flight Medal and the NCAA’s Theodore Roosevelt Award. Sally Ride was also inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame, and the Astronaut Hall of Fame. On July 23, 2012, Sally died at the age of 61, following by a 17-month battle with pancreatic cancer. She will always be remembered as a pioneering astronaut, who went where no other American woman had gone before.

Dr. Sally Ride made history when she became the first American woman in space. She inspired thousands of young women. Always pursue and never give up on your dreams, even if it is nothing like what has been done before.

Stephen Hawking

By: Barrett                                                                                                                         

 Stephen hawking was a scientist who studies blackholes and other things in outer space but during that time he had something called neuron which made it so he could not move his body which didn’t hold him back, so he kept working hard on his project. When Stephen hawking's got his disease, he was only 21 in 1949 which is when he met his wife named Elaine. Stephen was told by doctor's that he is only going to live 2 more years, but he lived 55 more years.  

stephan had three kids. His kids' names where Lucy, Robert and timothy. And he was born in a rich family, so he started with a lot of money and got a lot more money when being a scientist became his full-time job. He also went to a nice and expensive school which is where he was staying. 

What he mostly studied. Right before he was diagnosed with his disease has thinking of a way to revers time with space and stuff, but it didn't work so he decided he was going to study space and blackhole. with his amazing discoveries is when people started to know who he is and got his fame and movies such as big bang, hawking, the Simpsons and Guinness which was written by himself.  

He could not move without his wheel chair and he could not talk normal he could only talk like a robot, but it was still easy to understand so then he could work with an a another, scientist on his other projects cause he worked on hard and frustrating work that would have token years if it was just him. 

Stephen hawking is impaired by almost all the scientist they all want to be as smart as him and do so much great work with him 

Thanks for listening to my bistro and got my information from  

A movie called A THERY OF EVERYTHING 

And myself.
