Presentation transcript:

 The inventor of the first battery  An Italian physicist  Studied electricity along with his friend, Luigi Galvani… DiD YoU KnOw? The electrical unit, volt was named after him in his honour.

???? Who is Luigi Galvani?  An Italian physicist  Discovered that muscles of dead frogs’ legs twitched when struck by a spark  Assumed that the tissues of the frogs legs contained electricity !!

. Alessandro Volta? Friend & colleague of Luigi Galvani Did many experiments to test Luigi’s theory Proved Luigi wrong – frog legs do not contain electricity Through the process of doing all the experiments he invented battery!! First battery voltaic pile

Why our group like his invention?  Won’t be able to use battery operated appliances without his invention  computer gaming  Watch television

What are his values?  Perseverance  Open-mindedness

We like Alessandro’s invention as we would not be able to do all the things we love to do like computer gaming, watching television and much more battery-operated things.

 His perseverance and self-confidence he did not give up he dreamed big and set challenging goals for himself What we like about the inventor?

Volta Became a physicist at the age of 14 Invented battery at the age of 55 in year 1800 Died at the age of 82 The term “volt” was named after him

From Google.com, wikipedia.com, answers.com

In 1791, an Italian physicist called Luigi Galvani discovered that the muscles of dead frogs legs twitched when struck by a spark. Luigi assumed that the tissues of the frogs legs contained electricity. But Alessandro, Luigi’s colleague did many experiments to prove that Luigi was wrong. And by doing all the experiments, Alessandro thought of a way to invent the battery.

We admire Alessandro for his perseverance and self-confidence. At the age of 14, he realized his dream was to be a physicist. He had confidence that he could become a successful physicist. With perseverance, he did.

What are his values? He persevered and was open- minded to think of a great invention such as the battery to make electrical equipment easier to handle.
