Nobel Laureate William Bragg was born #OTD in 1862. Bragg designed the X-ray spectrometer, a vital tool used by scientists to study crystal structures. He was awarded the Nobel Prize alongside his son Lawrence Bragg in 1915.

American chemist Mary L. Good was born #onthisday in 1931. She is currently an industrial inorganic chemist, but spent many years working for the US government as an advisor in science and technology. She was the 1987–1988 president of @AmerChemSociety. ow.ly/qpeV30kz0qV

A number of researchers had tried to get fluorine in the free state, but it was very difficult to isolate the substance. By developing an ingenious apparatus, French chemist Henri Moissan succeeded on 26 June 1886. He was awarded the #NobelPrize in 1906.

Fabulous first transition lesson for Y6 Cambridge in Secondary. Today we made predictions and our own helicopters in preparation for next lesson when we will determine how mass affects flying time. Thank you Mr Campbell and @BSAKscience

After Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, Ernest Chain (pictured) - born #OTD - alongside Howard Florey, was instrumental in the isolation of the antibiotic. This led to a pharmaceutical that could be produced in large quantities. All three received the 1945 #NobelPrize.

Year 6 Transition Day, Sapphire enjoying making paper helicopters to investigate how flying time depends on the mass of the helicopter#bsakabudhabi#bsakyear6
