He made chemistry a proper science by focusing on careful experiments and measurements.
He proved that the total weight of materials stays the same during a chemical reaction.
He showed that burning uses oxygen, not a mysterious substance called phlogiston.
He found that oxygen is part of air and helps things burn, and hydrogen combines with oxygen to make water.
He made a system for naming chemicals, like naming oxygen and hydrogen.
He burned things and showed that breathing uses oxygen, like slow burning.
His job gave him money to do science, but it made people dislike him during the French Revolution.
He used balances to weigh things and special containers to trap gases.
She helped by writing down his work, drawing pictures, and translating books.
His ideas about mass and chemical names are still used in science today.
