SCIENCE IN THE 19TH CENTURY
-Appears as a GOLDEN AGE-
-Science expanded successfully into new fields of mathematics and experiments in physics,the application of theory to experiment in chemistry and control the experimentation in biology.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN MID-19TH CENTURY
-There were important breakthrough in
*iron and steel technology
*electricity
*weapons (machine gun, bottle wagon,dynamite)
*physics and chemistry
*sociology,psychology and biology

DALTON
-English school master.Atoms were the smallest indestructible parts of matter.
MENDELEEV
-Began to develop the table of elements.
RADIUM
-PIERRE and MARIE CURIE announce the discovery of this element
SIGMUND FREUD
-In Psychology,he loook for the explanation for individual human behavior beyond the rational level.
CHARLES DARWIN
-In BIOLOGY,develop his theory of revolution.

PROGRESS IN PHYSICS
-HANS CHRISTIAN OERSTED-electric current produces a magnetic field
-MICHAEL FARADAY-reverse effect
-JOSEPH HENRY-built the first powerful electromagnets and invented electric motor.
-JAMES PRESCOTT JOULE-first law of thermodynamics.
-WILHELM ROENTGEN-x-ray

-MARIE CURIE-Radio activity.

PROGRESS IN CHEMISTRY
-FRIEDRICH WOHLER-prepared urea in a test tube from inorganic starting materials
-BARON JUSTUS VON LIEPIG- chemical fertilizers
_
-GUSTUS ROBERT KIRCHHOFF and WILBERT WILHELM BUNSEN-spectograph
