| | (1801-1885) Anthony Ashley Cooper, the eldest son of the 6th Earl of Shaftesbury, was born on 28th April, 1801. He became the Earl of Shaftesbury in 1851. Lord Shaftesbury was a politician who attempted to improve children's lives during the Victorian times
At the age of 25, he became a member of Parliament. He began to take an interest in the plight of poor children after reading newspaper reports about labour in industry.
1833 He proposed that children should work for a maximum of 10 hours a day
1834 the Factory Act was made law. It was now illegal for children under 9 to be employed in textile factories
1842 Coal Mines Act
No child or woman should work underground
He was also interested in education for working children. He was chairman of the Ragged Schools Union - an organisation that set up over a hundred schools for poor children Lewis Carrol (1832 -1898)
(real name Charles Lutwidge Dogson)
He was born in 1832 and was a lecturer in mathematics at Oxford University. He was the author of the well known book Alice in Wonderland which he wrote in 1865. Alice in Wonderland came from stories he told to Alice Lidell and her sisters (the daughters of the Dean of his Oxford college) during a boat trip one sunny afternoon in 1862. (1809 -1882)
Darwin was born on February 12, 1809 in Shrewsbury, England. In 1831 he joined a scientific expedition bound for South America and the Pacific Ocean on a sailing ship called The Beagle (1831 - 36). He was to be the ship's naturalist, the expert on plants and animals. In the Galapagos Islands Darwin noticed how the same species of birds, cut off from centuries on different islands, had developed in quite different ways. This and many other amazing discoveries led him to his theory of 'evolution by natural selection'. This theory lies behind all modern ideas on how different species of living things have become to be the way they are and how they will change in the future. Joseph Lister (1827 - 1912)
Enemy of germs who started antiseptic surgery Lister was born on the 5 April 1827 in Upton, Essex. In 1853 Lister, a young English doctor, became a house surgeon at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. He was horrified at the number of patients whose wounds became infected and went rotten. At that time no one knew what caused infection. It wasn't until 1865 that Lister heard about the great French Scientist, Louis Pasteur. Pasteur had discovered that diseases are caused by tiny living things, now called 'germs'. Lister realised it was important to kill the germs in wounds so the wounds wouldn't get infected. Lister used carbonic acid as the most effective germ-killer - or 'antiseptic'. The results were a lot less rotting of wounds than the used to be and the number of deaths dramatically fell.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)
Stevenson was born in 1850 and was a scottish author who wrote Treasure Island and Kidnapped which are two of the most popular children's stories ever written.

Sir Robert Peel (1788 - 1850)
Robert Peel was born in Bury, Lancashire, on 5th February, 1788. He was Prime Minister twice, 1834-5 and 1841-6 and one of the greatest Prime Ministers of the nineteenth century. As home Secretary he created the modern police force, unarmed and in blue so as to be as unlike the army as possible. Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870)
Dickens was born in Portsmouth, England on 7 February 1812. He spent much of his life in Kent and London. Charles Dickens wrote some of the most popular and widely read novels of the 19th century, from Oliver Twist to A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations. Dickens had ten children.

What do you think of this feature? 8th April 2020 Charles Darwin Charles Darwin was a scientist who is most famous for his evolution theory , which tries to explain how animals change over time. Charles was born into a wealthy family, his father being a wealthy doctor. From the age of 8, he was interested in natural history and collecting animals. When he was older, he joined a student natural history group at university. In 1831, Charles went on a worldwide voyage on the ship HMS Beagle. Most famously, he discovered the wildlife that lived on the island of Galapagos. He found out that turtles had shells that showed which island they came from. Charles also found mockingbirds similar to those in Chile but with slight variations.  On the Origin of SpeciesCharles Darwin spent decades after his voyage studying and documenting animals. He worked so hard, publishing various journals, that he once got very ill, and was told to take a few weeks off living in the countryside by doctors. In 1859, he published his most famous book: On the Origin of Species . It explained his theory about how animals evolved through natural selection . Evolution was Charles’ most famous discovery. He continued researching and writing journals and books. Charles wrote another book called Descent of Man , which was published in 1871. The book described how we are animals and the fact that we descended from apes. He also wrote other books explaining many different theories. Charles Darwin died in 1882, and he was buried at Westminster Abbey.   MOST POPULAR Charles Darwin Primary ResourceDiscover the events that led to darwin’s theory of evolution. This Science primary resource introduces children to the life of Charles Darwin in this easy-to-read comic. Discover the events that led to his theory of evolution. What was Darwin’s favourite hobby? Where did he first encounter a rainforest? How many years did he spend writing about barnacles? Pupils will learn about the different ways that Charles Darwin studied animals in our National Geographic Kids’ Science primary resource sheet. The teaching resource can be used in study group tasks for a simple explanation of Darwin’s life and work. It could be used as a printed handout for each pupil to read themselves, or for display on the interactive whiteboard, as part of a whole class reading exercise. Activity: Ask children to imagine they are Charles Darwin making notes on his discoveries in South America, and write a diary entry of what he may have seen or studied. They could include illustrations of different species. Pupils could research the meaning of ‘natural selection’ and write down their findings. Our Charles Darwin: Theory of Evolution resource could be used to help them. N.B. The following information for mapping the resource documents to the school curriculum is specifically tailored to the English National Curriculum and Scottish Curriculum for Excellence . We are currently working to bring specifically tailored curriculum resource links for our other territories; including South Africa , Australia and New Zealand . If you have any queries about our upcoming curriculum resource links, please email: [email protected] This Science primary resource assists with teaching the following Key Stage 2 Science (Year 6) objectives from the National Curriculum : Pupils should be taught to: - recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago
- recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents
- identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution
Pupils might find out about the work of palaeontologists such as Mary Anning and about how Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace developed their ideas on evolution. This Science primary resource assists with teaching the following Sciences First level objectives from the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence : - By comparing generations of families of humans, plants and animals, I can begin to understand how characteristics are inherited
Scottish Curriculum for Excellence Sciences Second level objectives : - By exploring the characteristics offspring inherit when living things reproduce, I can distinguish between inherited and non- inherited characteristics.

Charles Robert Darwin was born on February 12, 1809, in Shropshire, England. He did poorly throughout school. Nevertheless he attended the University of Edinburgh and the University of Cambridge. A professor at Cambridge encouraged Charles's interest in natural history. In 1831 Darwin joined an expedition to explore the coasts of South America.
The theory of evolution by natural selection that was developed by Charles Darwin revolutionized the study of living things. In his Origin of Species (1859) he provided a scientific explanation of how the diverse species of plants and animals have descended over time from common ancestors. His theory remains central to the foundations of modern ...
