Marie and Pierre Curie Isolated Radium (1902)
-- On April 20, 1902, Marie and Pierre Curie successfully isolate radioactive radium salts from the mineral pitchblende in their laboratory in Paris. In 1898, the Curies discovered the existence of the elements radium and polonium in their research of pitchblende. Since its discovery, radium has given names like radium A and radium C2 to several isotopes of other elements which are decay products of radium-226.

Packed with historic photos, informative sidebars, a resource section, and 21 hands-on activities and experiments which illuminate Curie's life and work, Marie Curie for Kids is an indispensable resource for budding scientific explorers.
