Activity 2 of 'One Step At A Time' is to pick a famous New Zealander. I have chosen Ernest Rutherford who is known as the father of nuclear physics. He was the first person to split an atom. He also was the first person from Oceania to win the Nobel Peace Prize. I chose him because he is one of the 'molders' of the nuclear weapons. He can be found on the New Zealand $100 note.

Hey Jeremiah,
ReplyDeleteYou have some really good facts about Lord Rutherford. I didn't know that he was born in Bright water, Nelson. I like the picture you have chosen of Lord Rutherford. Keep up the stunning work!
Hi Jeremiah. The facts you have provided are really interesting. I like how you have added images. You have one spelling error, other than that you did great. My question is, was Lord Ernest Rutherford the first person to split an atom? Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeremiah!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great DLO and description of Lord Ernest Rutherford! I didn't actually know he was on out $100 note... thanks for sharing!
On a side note... Nelson is such a nice city! I have friends that are from there and I visited last summer, they have some great beaches!
