Albert Einstein: Isabelle J. Willow Room June 2013

Albert Einstein (1874-1955) was a famous German-born physicist known for his theory of relativity and mass-energy equivalence formula E=mc2, which led to the development of the atomic bomb, though Einstein himself showed compassion and advocated for world peace; as a child he struggled with speech but persevered in his scientific work, publishing his first paper as a teenager and making breakthrough discoveries that changed modern physics.

ALBERT EINSTEIN

1874-1955

Isabelle J. Willow Room June 2013

Introduction
Famous Quotation: "Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. "- Albert Einstein
Best known for: Albert was someone who really worked hard and kept on going. He was someone who believed in world peace but his equation e=mc2 led to the most destructive bomb ever called the Atomic bomb.

What I nd interesting: about Albert is that he is very smart, he is a genius, and he is a person who hated war but his equation led to the atomic bomb. I chose this person because Albert is very smart; he is interested in science just like me! He also made a lot of predictions that turned out to be true!

3 Key Qualities: 1. Showed Compassion and Empathy 2. Took Action 3. Persevered

Overcame a Hardship/Challenge
As a baby and a child, Albert was so shy and quiet and shy that he wouldn't even speak until he was 3 or 4 years old.

I think this is a challenge he had to overcome because later in his life he became a "media superstar." He got a lot of attention and he was very popular and famous because of his ideas.

Showed Compassion and Empathy


I read that Albert was kind to lots of people and he loved not only science, but to play with others. He even taught a kid to ride a bike.

I think Albert was kind to everybody. He showed lots of compassion to everyone.

Took Action
When Albert was only a teenager, he got his rst scientic paper published. The paper was about electricity and magnetism. Albert started by disagreeing with something all scientists thought was true. I think Albert was very smart. He disagreed with other scientists so he decided to write a paper and do something about it and not just stand by and let the scientists think they're right for the rest of the future.

Persevered
Albert Einstein actually did not invent the atomic bomb. His equation e=mc2 gave away the idea of the atomic bomb.

I think that Albert's equation e=mc2 showed how he persevered. He didn't give up on his equation.

Impact: How Things are Different Today


Albert found out that light moves 816,000 miles per second. His work helped future scientists invent the radio, telephone, television, and CD players.

I think Albert was very smart because he changed people from thinking that light was just a wave, but it was also made out of tiny particles photons.

Communicated and Shared


Albert wrote a paper in 1916 telling a way to think about the universe it was called General Theory of Relativity. It said that space was curved, so planets and stars moved around the sun in a curved way. I think that by Albert writing a paper he was sharing his ideas, and the paper ended up changing the way people had thought about the universe for hundreds of years.

Albert Einstein
Persevered when he worked on his equation. I think Albert's predictions are what he persevered on- he was very smart to make those predictions.
Took action when he was only a teenager he got his rst scientic paper published. The paper was about electricity and magnetism and Einstein started by disagreeing with something all scientists thought was true.

Showed compassion when he taught a kid how to ride a bike. He was kind to everybody. He showed compassion to everyone.

Made a difference when he made people believe that starlight was curved. He wrote a paper about it when he was only a teenager.

Author Talk
Im similar to my Change Maker because Albert Einstein likes science and so do I. Im a Change Maker when I tell people they shouldn't do that, like when I tell them to stop picking plants.

My Change Maker is connected to Thomas Edison because he went through a lot of processes, too.

Glossary
A Change Maker is: someone who makes a change in the world. Atomic bomb: is something that destroyed lots of things. Albert didn't really invent it, but his equation e=mc2 gave it away.

Atoms: tiny particles that make up every thing.

Molecule: something that is made of more than one atom.
