Born this day - Robert Boyle Robert Boyle is regarded as the first modern chemist and a pioneer of modern experimental scientific method. Largely known for Boyles law (also known as pressure-volume law), states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to the volume. This law is valid as long as the temperature and the amount of gas are constant. https://www.famousscientists.org/robert-boyle/

National Energy Education Development Project

In 1980, The NEED Project began as a one-day celebration of energy education when National Energy Education Day was recognized by a Joint Congressional Resolution. In the same year, President Jimmy Carter issued a Presidential Proclamation stressing the need for comprehensive energy education in our schools, a reduction of our dependence of fossil fuels, and increasing use of renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency.
