you are right too.”

Aim: Aim: to find some information about Russian inventors and clear up their contribution into scientific progress.

Tasks:Tasks:1.Clear up who the Russian inventors are.2.Know what they invented.3.Learn a lot of useful information about

achievements of our great scientists.4.Clear up if their inventions were useful for the

progress.

There are a lot of inventions in the world. New inventions appear every day to make our lives easier, longer, warmer, faster, and so on.

But only a few inventors design a new machine or product that becomes so best-known all over the world.

When you feel hot, you switch on the cooler; when it's too dark to see, you switch on the light bulb; you can also talk to your friend miles away using the telephone; you can also fly places in a plane and there are so many things that you can do today because of some of the famous inventors and their inventions.

The Russian inventors and scientists made the great contribution to the development of world science. Their names are world-known. It's almost impossible to name the branch of science in which the Russian inventors haven't played the greatest role.

Ivan Kulibin was a Russian mechanic and self-educated person. He was born in Nizhniy Novgorod. From childhood, Kulibin displayed an interest in constructing mechanical tools. Soon, clock mechanisms became a special interest of his. His realizations as well as his prolific imagination inspired the work of many.

Mozhaisky was a Russian naval officer, aviation pioneer and designer of heavier-than-air craft. Mozhaisky's airplane was the 1st in the world.

The first flight of that aircraft took place in the military camp of Krasnoye Selo on the 20th of July, 1882. It was not allowed for Mozhaisky to raise in the sky. Because he was already 57.

A. Popov was a Russian physicist who was the first person to demonstrate the practical application of electromagnetic radio waves. Beginning in the early 1890s he continued the experiments of other radio pioneers, such as Heinrich Hertz.

In 1894 he built his first radio receiver, a version of the coherer. Further refined as a lightning detector, it was presented to the Russian Physical and Chemical Society on May 7, 1895—the day has been celebrated in the Russian Federation as Radio Day.

Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev was a Russian scientist and inventor. He created the first version of the periodic table of elements, and used it to predict the properties of elements yet to be discovered. All future discoveries in the field of chemistry and physics have been based on this law. His discovery made it possible to find 38 new chemical elements to fill the empty spaces left in the Periodic table.

K. Tsiolkovsky is a rocket scientist and a pioneer of astronautics. He is considered to be one of the founding fathers of rocketry and astronautics. His works later inspired leading Soviet rocket engineers such as Sergey Korolyov and Valentin Glushko and contributed to the success of the Soviet space program.

1857 -1935

Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky

S. Korolyov devoted his life to rocket research, constructing artificial satellites. He was a Rocket engineer and designer,

“Father” of the space program. History changed on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik I. The world's first artificial satellite was about the size of a basketball, weighed only 183 pounds, and took about 98 minutes to orbit the Earth on its elliptical path.

1907 - 1966

Sergei Pavlovich Korolyov

I. Sikorsky is a helicopter and aircraft designer. He was considered to be the "father" of helicopters not because he invented the first. He was called that because he invented the first successful helicopter, upon which further designs were based.

He also designed and built the first military helicopter, XR-4, which he delivered to Colonel Franklin

Gregory of the U.S. Army.

1889 - 1972

Vladimir Kosmich Zworykin was a Russian-American inventor, engineer, and pioneer of television technology. Zworykin invented a television transmitting and receiving system employing cathode ray tubes. He has been called

“The Father” of Television.

1899 -1982

Vladimir Zworykin

Russian inventors have contributed generously to the development of global scientific thought. Many of their inventions have literally transformed the world, enabling us to enjoy such blessings of civilization as aircraft, cars, computers and television.

Throughout history Russian famous inventors have contributed greatly to the world of invention and innovation. We should remember their names.
