520 "Best known for his general theory of relativity and the
famous equation linking mass and energy, E = mc², Albert
Einstein had a lasting impact on the world of science, the
extent of which is illuminated--along with his fascinating
life and unique personality--in this lively history. In
addition to learning all about Einstein's important
contributions to science, from proving the existence and
size of atoms and launching the field of quantum mechanics
to creating models of the universe that led to the
discovery of black holes and the big bang theory, young
physicists will participate in activities and thought
experiments to bring his theories and ideas to life. Such
activities include using dominoes to model a nuclear chain
reaction, replicating the expanding universe in a
microwave oven, creating blue skies and red sunsets in a
soda bottle, and calculating the speed of light using a
melted chocolate bar. Suggestions for further study, a
time line, and sidebars on the work of other physicists of
the day make this an incredibly accessible resource for
inquisitive children"--|cProvided by publisher.
