Conclusion
- Jacques-Yves Cousteau is know for his aqualung
- invented the aqualung, underwater diving station, and diving saucer
- My engineer impacted change though time because he made it able so people can breath underwater
Personal Life
- He was born in Saint-Andre-de-Cubzac, France
- Born on June 11, 1910
- His parents were Daniel and Elizabeth Cousteau
- Lived during the Great Depression
- His main contribution to the engineering field was his aqualung, it allowed people to breath under water and descend deeper
- During the test faze there was a problem with the air flow
- Had to redesign
- He worked in seawater to conduct the experiment
- The tools he use were the aqualung, air tank, and valve, he also wore those to conduct the experiment
- Went to Naval aviation school
- had behavior problems
- liked to swim
- at age 11 he built a model crane
- had a wife named Simone Melchior Cousteau and had two boys
- When his wife died of cancer he got a new wife named Francine Triplet Cousteau, they had one girl and one boy
Introduction
- My scientist's name is Jacques-Yves Cousteau
- was an oceanographer, author, motion picture and television producer
- He invented the aqualung
- I wanted to learn what an oceanographar does

Impact of Scientific Discoveries
- Cousteau's aqualung was recognized while he was alive because he encouraged the French navy to use it and it soon became popular
- Without Cousteau's aqualung people would not have been able to breath underwater
Professional life
- My engineer became interested to engineering because he wanted to make something that would allow you to breath underwater longer and go down further
- Main design was aqualung
- Hypothesis of the design was to be able to breath underwater
- 2 key terms I learned were aqualung and apparatus
- Other inventions Cousteau made was the first underwater diving station and diving saucer
