The unit of work is named after James Prescott Joule because it was his research that demonstrated the concept of energy conservation. Joule worked in his father's brewery from an early age, a job that gave him further opportunity for experimentation.
James Prescott Joule (December 24, 1818- October 11, 1889) was a British physicist, who contributed to the understanding of electricity and heat. The SI unit for amount of heat is named after him.
I'm 13 but I belive it was Almonte High School.
