GERMANYS' CONTRIBUTION TO SCIENCE

ROCKET TECHNOLOGY

• Wernher von Braun
• Created the first ballistic missile in 1943
• This technology was captured by the US and the USSR during the fall of Nazi Germany
• This lead the invention of the space shuttle

THE SUN LAMP

• Invented in 1918 by Dr. Kurt Huldschinsky in Berlin, Germany
• During the winter he had patients with rickets a disease were the patient was pale and their bones were weak
• He experimented on a patient with a lamp emitting ultraviolet ligh
• He noticed the bones of the patient getting stronger
• Later research revealed his lamps we giving the patient vitamin D which is necessary for bones to stay healthy which helps us today

X-RAYS

• Wilhelm Röntgen Discovered electromagnetic radiation on November 8, 1895
• Tested it with a piece of cardboard and a lenard tuber
• He then tested it on his wife's hand and they saw the bones in her hand
• He won the nobel prize in physics for his discovery of x-rays
• X-rays are useful today by helping us see inside bodies of injured people

ALBERT EINSTEIN

• Albert Einstein, a German born physicist helped develop modern physics
• He is best know for his mass-energy equation E=mc2 in 1905
• It tells us how mass and energy are related

JOHANNES KEPLER

• A german astronomy and Natural philosopher
• Know for his ability in formulating and verifying the three laws of planetary motion which is now known as kepler's law in 1609
• Kepler's law helps us today understand planetary motion

PILOT COMMUNICATIONS

• During World War 1 the German Air force found a way for communications between all their planes
• This helps us today by having air traffic controllers communicate with each plane to make sure they are safe

TIMELIME

• 1609- Kepler's law
• 1895- X-rays
• 1905- E=mc2
• 1916- Pilot communications & the wristwatch
• 1918- Sun lamp
• 1943-Rocket technology

THE WRISTWATCH

• First used in WW1 to help soldiers keep track of time
• Invented by the company H williamson
• It helps us today by telling us the time
