Marie Curie Coloring Page

Marie Curie was born Maria Skłodowska in Warsaw, Poland, and moved to Paris to study science. She and her husband, Pierre, discovered two new elements, polonium and radium. She named polonium after her home country.

She won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911, and she’s still the only person to win in two different sciences. During World War I she helped set up mobile X-ray units to help doctors treat wounded soldiers. Her notebooks are still radioactive today.
