Robert Boyle-Father of Chemistry

Robert Boyle was born at Lismore Castle, Munster on 25 January 1627, the fourteenth child and seventh son of Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork. Robert Boyle was educated mainly by tutors and himself. He had no formal university education but read widely and made contact with many of the most important natural philosophers of his day, both at home and aboard.

Boyle realized that if anything were to be done about improving science, he would have to start doing something about it himself. While only 18, he helped to found the Philosophical College in London (later to become the Royal Society of London).
He returned home to Ireland at the age of 25 and took up the study of anatomy. Two years later he travelled to Oxford, established a laboratory, and headed a small scientific society there.

In 1661, at the age of 34, Boyle published The Skeptical Chymist. In this book he overturned Aristotle’s conception of the four elements (the belief that everything was composed of earth, air, fire and water) and replaced it with the modern idea of an element—namely that an element is a substance that cannot be separated into simpler components by chemical methods. The Skeptical Chymist is recognized as the foundation-stone of modern chemistry.

Term one’s memories and reflections.

On the first day I was so scared because it is a new school. My mum told me my dad came here when he was my age, my Aunt and Cousin also came to this school. We went to our new classroom. I was put into room 11 and it was so much fun. I made some new friends and saw some old friends. We saw the whole school and the boundaries of the school.

Week 2 is when the whole school went swimming and in the week 4 it was the swimming Carnival for the year 8’s and year 7’s and it is all the good swimmers from the 3 teams ( swimmers who are good, average and beginners). We had to go half way so the mongoose tigers went first. They were so good that when you see them swimming they will be half way by now.

In week 5 the year 8’s formally welcomed the year 7’s. Some of the parents came to see and it was cool. We call this as the school powhiri that is when they welcome you to the school.
We had the SPCA come to the school. They told as about animal cruelty. Our teacher had gone to India to see and take care of her mum. I hope that she gets well soon.
