Interesting Speeches about Great Scientists

By Tyler Robinson

Now that you have a speech to prepare the issue is where do you start? Do you immediately start your research on great scientists or do you research the way to write a great speech first? Great scientists is an exceedingly broad subject and unless you need your listeners trying to work out the atomic structure of the DNA in a Bengal tiger, it is not a wise idea to put nuclear-physicists, geneticists and zoologists all in one speech, so I'd definitely do a little analysis on speeches at first.

Here are five interesting speech topics that may be used for great scientists but if none of these get your creativity to flow you'll be able to find a whole lot more speech topics in the Web.

1) What does it take to become a great scientist?

For this subject you can discuss how many years of school it takes to become classified as a scientist and what degrees are required. See what schools are most fitted for scientific studies both here and abroad.

2) Are very good scientists born that way?

This subject would depend on the idea that some people are just "born" smart. You might focus on the intelligence level of some great and famous scientist like George Beadle or Paul Berg. Learn if they did brilliantly well in college or maybe if they were in programs like MENSA.

3) Do Scientists believe strongly in a higher power?

Many of us believe that scientists don't believe strongly in any God or higher power but with a little research you'll find that many did. Just pick two that did and focus on their principles.

4) Weird facts about some of the greatest scientists.

Everybody wants to learn something new especially out of a lecture and oddly enough, strange facts are typically what folks remember. For example, you can confirm that Isaac Newton was so premature they did not expect him to live or that Alfred Nobel invented dynamite.

5) Random inventions by some of the greatest scientists.

There are plenty of of these but a perfect example would be how Percy Spencer invented the microwave from a bar of candy in his pocket.

Once you've found enough interesting speech topics that you can choose from it is time to work on the composition of the speech.
