John+Priestley

Joseph Priestley was born in Birstall, near the West Riding Of Yorkshire 1733-1804. Priestly worked and studied at Daventry Acadmey and later went on to Warrington Acadmey, studying in Theology and becoming a philoshopher along with becoming a political theorist. =//__Main Beliefs__//= - Was raised a devout Calvinist - Was a supporter towards the French Revolution, (1789) - Was credited for the discovery of Oxygen - Managed to Capture oxygen in its gaseous form using technology he created. - Made/created soda water or Soda - Discovered different gases, such has carnbon monoxide - Had famous writings on electricity and his book, "Introduction To Electricity" in 1768.

To the left is an image of Priestley's electrical work. This was created to help amateur experamentalists help configure over how electricity could be created and or conducted. This was created in 1786 and was featured in his book "Introduction to Electricity." Priestley's main idea while thinking of this machine was Ben Franklin, condsidering he discovered electricity and based most of the information in his book on him.

This pneumatic trough was used in conducting nitrogen gas experiments and was designed after Stephen Hale's Original model. With this, Priestley could conduct gas experiments easily. Priestley would use water or mercury to establish a base and measure the decrease in volume of the specified gas. With this, he managed to isolate carbon monoxide into is gaseous form.

"Like its politicians and its war, society has the teenagers it deserves" "It is no use speaking in soft, gentle tones if everyone else is shouting" “The more elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.” “Every man, when he comes to be sensible of his natural rights, and to feel his own importance, will consider himself as fully equal to any other person whatever”

__//**Effects of Joeseph Priestley**//__

Joesph Priestley has definitley had his impact on society. If it weren't for him, we still might not understand the concept on how we breathe or or how we were able to live on earth. Managing to capture oxygen in it's gaseous form, led to how there were other gases, such as Carbon monoxide.Thanks to the discovery of oxygen within Priestley's tests, soon after his death photosynthesis would be discovered and the gap between how we breathe and where air comes from would finally be solved. Priestley's notes and novel on electricity would lead to better understanding of it.

- Oxygen would be added to the periodic table, which would later be created by Dimitri Mendeelev.
- The air we breathe would lead to the discovering photosynthesis with the exchange of carbon dioxide. - Electricity would be better defined and used for many uses for years to come. i.e the light bulb.


 * //__Evidence-__//** Oxygen is the first and foremost thought of element on the periodic table. Oxygen is needed for us to breathe, and the discovery of photosynthesis with the exchaning of carbon dioxide allows us to live and allowed science to take a giant step forward.

=**__Joseph Priestley: HERO!__**=

Joseph Priestley has discovered what we now know to be the air that we breathe! He is now being called a hero.Priestley is calling the gas oxygen. Tests done by Priestley have shown that oxygen was found by using another element called mercury and water to determine or show a decrease in volume.Thanks to this we understand how we are able to live on our mother earth. Everyone is becoming acustomed to this term since everyone is breathing and not just the wealthy. This is free and everyone needs it to survive; you can't put a price on air. Mr. Priestley has overcome many obstacles including ridicule by fellow scientists, mobs thinking he was nuts and than burning down his home, and people in disbelief. We here by present Joseph Priestley with the Sci-Fi Element trophy for gratest discovery and here by promote you to chief Scientist to help continue your research!

= = =Wanted Poster=

=Mad Scientist!= John Priestley is wanted for experimenting with illegal chemicals. He is considered extremely dangerous and mentally insane. Priestley's latest discovery his believed to be some way to poison the air that we breathe! Using his nitrogen gas, he mix it with the nitrogen gas and kill us all! We must make sure his chemicals or machines reach the streets. Fellow scientists and partners of Priestley have said he's been experimenting with unstable chemicals and may use the gas he discovered to some how kill us. We must join together and take him down before his chemicals take us down. There is a reward for the capture and arrest, starting out at 100,000 dollars.
