Great Minds: Albert Einstein by Lydia Lukidis

You would probably recognize Albert Einstein from his

photos. Yep, he was the guy with the crazy hair! But he also

had some great ideas. He was more than just a scientist. He

was a genius who changed our lives. He made some of

science’s biggest discoveries. He also developed some

important theories. Some of these theories may seem

complicated. But they concern everybody. Science is

everywhere and affects us every day. Einstein’s discoveries

made things like television, DVD players, and garage door

openers possible.

Einstein was born in Germany in 1879. When he was

five years old, his dad gave him a compass. It became his

favorite toy. He would stare at the needle of the compass as

it moved. It seemed like magic at first. Einstein wanted to understand how the needle

moved. So he learned about magnetism. Magnetism is about the invisible force of magnets.

It can make objects stick together or move away. Einstein also learned a lot about science

and electronics because of his dad. His dad owned an electronics company. It was no

surprise that Einstein ended up loving math and science. He started performing experiments

at a very young age.

Einstein performed extremely well in school. He quickly advanced to higher level math

and science topics, and his teachers were impressed by his grasp of college-level physics

concepts by the time he was eleven. When he was young, he met a Polish medical student

named Max Talmud. Talmud became his tutor. He showed Einstein a children’s textbook

about science. Einstein became curious about light and other things.

Einstein later attended school in Switzerland. He made many friendships. He also met

his future wife, Mileva Maric. She was a Serbian physics student. Einstein received his

Super Teacher Worksheets - www.superteacherworksheets.com

http://www.superteacherworksheets.com/

doctorate in 1905. That same year, he published many important scientific papers.

After that, Einstein became a professor in Germany. But times were tough back then.

Hitler and his Nazi party started a war against Jewish people. Einstein was Jewish. So he

decided to leave and go to the United States. That was in 1933. And it’s a good thing he did.

The world needed him to be free and pursue his passions.

Einstein was not an inventor like Thomas

Edison or Alexander Graham Bell. But his

theories and discoveries changed the way

we look at things. Some example are

time, space, matter, energy, and gravity.

Einstein is best known for his Theory of

Relativity. You probably heard of the

equation E=mc². E stands for energy, m

stands for mass, and c stands for speed of

light. But what does this all mean? Yes, it is as complicated as it sounds! Here’s the most basic

way to explain it. The theory is a scientific explanation about how space relates to time. This

was very important. It changed the way scientists looked at the universe. This theory also

brought on inventions like the nuclear bomb and nuclear energy.

Einstein made many other discoveries. For example, he figured out that light is made up

of many little particles called photons. He called this the quantum theory of light. At the time,

some other scientists did not agree with this theory. But later, it was proven. This was an

important discovery. It led to many inventions such as television.

Here’s one more example of an important discovery Einstein made. Along with scientist

Satyendra Bose, he discovered a new state of matter. Regular states of matter are gas, liquid,

and solid. Einstein and Bose found another one. They named it the Bose-Einstein Condensate.

Today, it’s used in cool things like lasers.

Einstein’s work was and is valuable to the world. This is one of the reasons he eventually

won the Nobel Prize in Physics. The Nobel Prize is a very famous award given to someone who

has done outstanding work in different subjects like science or medicine. Einstein died in 1955.

He was later named “Person of the Century” by TIME Magazine.
