Girl Power!

Following on from Ms Sydenham's assembly this week about women in maths, and the anniversary of Ellen Wilkinson's birth on the 8th October, I thought we should have a look at some influential women in Science.

So, your challenge for this week is to research and write about the following women:
1. Marie-Anne Pierrette Paulze
2. Marie Curie
3. Mary Fairfax Somerville
4. Maria Mitchell
5. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson
6. Margaret Fountaine
7. Ellen Swallow Richards
8. Jane Goddall

Also, what are your scientific ambitions? Do you want to win the Nobel prize? What are you going to investigate in order to win the prize?
