[MUSIC BEGINS]
>> RACHEL: First up: Louis Pasteur. Louis Pasteur was BIOLOGIST. BIOLOGISTS study living things, like animals and plants…
[FROG CROAK]

So do you think it was Louis Pasteur the person who made milk safer to drink?
Or was it ADA LOVELACE?

Lovelace was a brilliant mathematician. Mathematicians are people who study MATH, and Lovelace is famous for her ALGORITHMS.
ALGORITHMS tell computers what to do.

Newton was a famous physicist that means he studied the way things move: everything from big things, like planets, to small things, like an apple falling from a tree.
