This is an extraordinary piece of material, miraculously discovered in a basement. It records Marie Curie teaching basic physics to her daughter Irène and the children of her colleagues in 1907. These lessons were personally recorded by Marie Curie's student Isabelle Chavaux, and the book reproduces them in full.
Marie Curie designed these lessons for a group of teenagers. The lessons are based on questions and experiments, clear, insightful, creative, and engaging. A century has passed, yet these lessons remain vivid and relevant, still attracting the interest of parents, teachers, and education enthusiasts. The book includes content such as: distinguishing between air and vacuum, discovering the weight of air, learning how water reaches the faucet, studying weighing, and measuring the density of solids and liquids.
