She was born in Poland and lived her early life in Poland, but moved to Paris in 1891, to study chemistry where she met Pierre Curie whom she married in 1895.

Here is a presentation entitled "[|How Did Marie Curie Die.ppt]" by Matt White, Tristan Carter abd Luke Li.

A worksheet was provided by the presenters that the presentation enabled the listeners to answer ([|How did Marie Curie die.doc]). The audience was asked to answer the questions which were then marked by the presenting team. The presenters then reviewed their work to understand how effective their teaching had been and reflect on how it might have been improved.
