DESCRIPTION
In Sciences, my 7th graders were asked to present a PPt on "My Scientist". Each chose a different scientist and then their teacher of English took it one step further and asked them to do the same in English! Here is the result :) Edwin Hubble, by JoanaTRANSCRIPT
Name: Edwin Powell HubbleDate of birth: 20 November 1889Death: 28 September 1953 (63 years old)Nationality: United States of AmericaActivity area / knowledge: Astrophysicist
My scientist…
Hubble discovered that the until then called nebulae were actually galaxies like the Milky Way.
Hubble also discovered that they move away from each other at a proportional speed to the distance separating them.
His name was given
to the first space
telescope, put in orbit
in 1990, to study the
space without the
distortions caused by
the atmosphere.
