    Rutherford chose to take up the scholarship at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, under Professor J. J. Thomson, affectionately known as "JJ". At first Rutherford continued his research on magnetism, but in 1896, following the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen on November 8, 1895, JJ invited Rutherford to participate in research on the induction of ionization in gases by the Roentgen rays. This was later extended to include ionization induced by the rays emitted by radioactive substances, such as uranium and its compounds, as discovered by Henri Becquerel in March 1896.

    In 1898 Rutherford reversed his priority and began using ionization as a tool for studying radioactivity. Almost immediately he discovered the heterogeneous nature of the "Becquerel rays"; he called the non-penetrating component α-rays and the more penetrating, β-rays. (The γ-rays were discovered in 1900 by Paul Villard in Paris.)

    This week we find out how the elements beyond the actinides were discovered. Revealing the chemistry of the first transactinide rutherfordium, here's Simon Cotton.

    When the gods member of the actinide series, element 103 or lawrencium, was discovered, inom was at school doing my A-levels, and inom remember reading about it in the magazine Scientific American. The isotope funnen had a mass of 258 and it didn't hang about for long - having a half-life of just 3.8 seconds. This was not unexpected as half lives had been getting shorter right along the actinide series.

    This upptäckt prompted the scientific community to uppstart asking, are there any elements waiting to be made beyond lawrencium? And if so, where would they passform in the periodi

    Perfect for biography reports and Presidents' Day, this foldable brochure is a great way to ensure your students are keeping their research organized and focusing on the most important aspects of the person they're studying. This activity can easily serve as a note-taking template for an essay or presentation. It can also serve as the biography project itself! The brochure is perfect for integrating literacy into other subjects, especially social studies. Students will not only benefit from the experience of learning about these presidents, but they'll practice their mapping and timeline skills as well. The organizer allows students to go beyond reading to really interact with the chosen text as they determine which facts are relevant. While this is a great activity for Presidents' Day, it can be used year round as well!

    Each trifold brochure has space for the following information about each figure:

    • Picture
    • Lifespan
    • Presidential Term
    • Political Party
    • Childhood
    • Education, Ex
